Thanks Jim, no you can't on these but they are high RMS rated compared to most at 150w each so that is probably something to do with it. They did work with the cross overs but they were very low volume compared to the rest of the system. (I would imagine due to lack of power. As they are connected they work really well though and to be honest I highly doubt I will be Amping them because they are so loud as is. I guess I'll see how it goes. Speaker wise I want bass more than anything really so looking for more mid range speakers with a low HZ.
Slippery slope towards turning into a bass junkie Whistle Laughing
Also to be honest I've had very little to do with tweeters so cross overs and the like are new to me I'm much more used to subs and amp's.

Thumbs Up
At this rate I'll end up with about 4 Amps and some of those multi channel too. TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Are you not running a full range though them then ??? hence why they are loud? Or dose your Puma already have crossovers fitted ???
Saw 'Killers ' JL sub in his at Billing. For a little sub it rocked Cool Looked like a 6" cone so plenty of mid range Thumbs Up IMHO it kicked the butt of all the actives I have seen, although admittedly It was boxed and therefore slightly larger. For a small cone it did really well and the SQ only suffered on the silly lows. I wonder what he's knocking them out for ? Whistle Whistle

AFAIK the Puma has cross overs but could be wrong... (I'm really not sure)
Either way I'm not Amping them through the standard wiring and they are only powered by the HU so as far as I'm concerned I don't have to worry about the wiring being used for too much current passing through. If I did Amp them I would be fitting all new wiring to take the extra power. But as is they are sounding perfect and certainly have a good range.
Having said all of this I haven't adjusted my HU at all since fitting I only gave them a try and the original standard Tweets had a much lower output so it's a marked improvement ten fold. I am really happy though. Lows are great from my sub and highs are now too so I've just got in-between to sort the mids.
Changing the subject. You can bet anything Chris has is a show stopper, he does do a lot of quality parts and work IMO all be it snowed under with too much work maybe!
I'm sure if you ask him nicely he may offer you a slight discount. Wink TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Indeed. It's tempting to Amp them but I don't think I could stand them then, the highs would be so high in volume and of course cost as well. Nope, as they are I am extremely pleased with.
I like the mids and bass the most though in all honesty but wanted these to round off everything nicely so far. It seems a little odd to have good equipment and leave standard items in and as I have found it does pay off to change if your into I.C.E.

I'd fit in quite well at the local B@Q cruise Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
Its total overkill but the SQ is amazing, the loud part is an added bonus Whistle

Jim - Bass can never be over done IMO. Thumbs Up Not in a Defender anyway. It takes some power to make a Defender vibrate anyway it does that by it's self. Laughing

Chris - I've just sent you a couple of text's bud. Thumbs Up TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
