I've been thinking about putting another set of speakers in my '93 244 to up the system to 6 speakers for a more 3D sound experience. I've got a standard set-up in there now, Pioneer CD player and speakers, that sounds plenty good enough for me, but I'm bored and want to tinker. Here's what I've been thinking - and before you ask, yes, I will trade a pound of sweat to save a penny:
I've got a standard set-up in there now, Pioneer CD player and speakers, that sounds plenty good enough for me, but I'm bored and want to tinker. I have the 4x20 stock amplifier that came out of the car, I was thinking of getting a couple RCA connectors and a 6 pin plug (DIN?) and hooking that up to the pre-amp outputs on the Pioneer stereo. THEN, if I bridge the channels (possible?) I would have 2 channels at 40 watts each, right? I think.
Anyway, I also thought about soldering together a low-pass filter before amplifying so that it would only amplify bass and a little of the mid-range and perhaps running that to the 6.5" speakers in the rear deck. Then I could use the lines straight out the back of the stereo for two 5.25" in the bottom of the back doors, maybe get some junkyard wagon door panels so I already have a hole there.
OR I could just run the bridged amp to the two speakers in the rear doors and forget the low-pass filter.
Any thoughts? Can the amp be bridged? If I filter out high frequencies (how does that work with DC?) before the amp it will only send bass out the other side, right?
I know about $150 at Walmart would allow me to do all of this in an afternoon, but where's the fun in that?
Thanks for the attention.
