    That would probably work ok. I guess hook them up and check impedance if you have either too low sound (8 ohms) or tripping protection on the amp (2 ohms). Most component sets i've seen include a pair of 4 ohm drivers (mid and tweeter) and the crossover brings them up to 4 together.

    K04 boost tapering to redline with APR file

    Initially, I thought the cold weather was bringing my boost spike back. I loosened my WGA a turn to see if it might lessen the spike. Drove around yesterday and got on the highway a little. So the 1 more turn I did on mine hasn't helped my issue. I was spiking to about 25, and I suspected it...
