Esteemed Bretheren, I am still in process of attaining materials for my tapped horn tuba sub, so in the meantime I'm using my 12" kicker 10c124 I'm a 1 cubic foot ported box tuned to 23 hz. The driver is capabable of 150w rms and is 4 ohms.
Now. My front left and right a 8 ohm nominal speakers. The reciver(pioneer vsx 524 k) can put out 140 watts at 6 ohms and 80 watts at 8 ohm per channel.
I've hooked my my kicker directly to the front right speaker output.
Now for the question. since I do not have a subwoofer amp and I have connected the speaker to the reciever I have set subwoofer to no and front speakers to large. Will this action send lfe to the front left and right mains?
Initially I had my cross over set at 80hz. But noticed that the sub did not dig very low. So i changed the front crossover to 50 hz and notice it does dig a nice bit deeper.
But now I have arrived at a more technical question since the imedance of the 2 speakers connected at the amp makes the amp out put more power, correct? How much percent of the power should be diverted to the 4 ohm load and how much power should be diverted to the 8 ohm load.
