Powered sub's

You can't think of 'lectricity in that way. It travels the path of least resistance. The amount of power lost by the rear speakers is proportional to the input impedance of the power amp. If it's designed properly, it should have a very high impedance which will minimize the amount of loss to the rear speakers.

Yes I know this, but the path would still go to the rear speakers. I'm looking at it from my experience, I never lost much if any off my interior speakers when i ran line-level converters off the rear speakers to run subs with a factory head unit.

Says the man with lightning bolts is his shorts...

I have no response to that.

I stand corrected then

Actually not - you just kinda proved my point. You either got lucky or were kinda picky & bought decent quality products. Did you ever make your purchase decision based upon input impedance?

Just rattlin yer cage now.

lol first what's this lightning bolt thing, second, yes. I always choose an amp and sub combo that will run at a certain impedance and power. I think the thing we need to know here is the impedance of the signal input on the amp when using the line-level converter or the inputs like on the Basslink. I'm sure the resistance is very high to not allow the power to actually funnel through. A typical set of Pioneer 6x9's has an 4-8ohm impedance.

Never ever, ever piss of Zeus. He'll drop a lightning bolt down your shorts.

It's an old discussion we had about the power savings by converting to an electric fan. Comments about a 0.1% increase in throttle response come from that same discussion.

ahh, makes sense now
