Yes, you can run tweeters to an amp without a subwoofer. However, it is important to make sure that the amp has a high enough output power to drive the tweeters. Tweeters typically have a low impedance, so they require a lot of power to produce sound.
If the amp does not have enough power, the tweeters will not be able to play loudly enough, and they may sound distorted. You should also make sure that the amp has a crossover built-in. A crossover is a device that filters out the low frequencies from the signal before it reaches the tweeters. This is important because tweeters are not designed to reproduce low frequencies.
If the amp does not have a crossover built-in, you will need to purchase a separate crossover. You can also purchase tweeters that have a built-in crossover.
Here are some additional things to consider when running tweeters to an amp without a subwoofer:
- The impedance of the tweeters. Tweeters typically have an impedance of 4 ohms or less. Make sure that the amp can drive speakers with this impedance.
- The power handling of the tweeters. Tweeters typically have a power handling of 50 watts or less. Make sure that the amp can deliver this amount of power.
- The frequency response of the amp. The amp should have a frequency response that extends to at least 20 kHz. This is the frequency range that tweeters are designed to reproduce.
If you are careful to choose the right amp and to use it properly, you can run tweeters to an amp without a subwoofer without any problems.
Here are some additional tips for running tweeters to an amp without a subwoofer:
- Place the tweeters high up in the listening area. This will help to create a more natural soundstage.
- Avoid placing the tweeters near walls or other reflective surfaces. This can cause the sound to become muddy.
- Experiment with different placement until you find a position that sounds best to you.
