[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8859158, member: 689267"] There really isn’t a great way to integrate anything into these comp setups. You would be best served to get an amp for the rear fill and bridge the output to the front comps with the AC 4.300. This is by far the least expensive option and provides great results. A Taramps TS 400x4 bridged to the rear will give you 200 watts x 2 (versus 50x2)and they are very cheap. [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/185760607274?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335951755&toolid=20001&mkevt=1[/URL] Run the AC 4.300, bridged up front, stats say it will give you 150x2 bridged but it routinely exceeds that rating when tested, more like 200x2 so a decent match. You have the ability on the RF crossover to manipulate the output of the tweeter by what appears to be 4db down from flat which would allow you to turn them down ( I know it says +2/0/-2 but what that means is the +2 is actually flat and the 0 is down 2db and the -2 is down 4db), you cannot actually increase the efficiency of a driver after the fact but it makes sense to those not familiar with the physics. Having 3 times the wattage and quieting the tweeter setting on the crossover would effectively give you an increase in the midwoofer output relative to the tweeter turned down to the -2db setting. You also get the added volume without screwing up the soundstage and imaging. You could play with the tweeter setting as often just getting a lot more power will provide you with what you think you are missing anyway. Otherwise, I’d be rethinking the entire set-up for the speakers like the 2ohm comps I already mentioned. Adding duals of another brand and type and then trying to integrate the tweeters and crossovers is a best-guess proposition with a possible not-so-great end result. The RF's you are using are nice speakers. This would certainly allow you to enjoy them at much higher volumes. [/QUOTE]
