Hi, and thanks for any advice in advance. 1)I am wanting to purchase the HTM 12s for my fronts, but I was not sure what to use as a center channel as an HTM 12 is just too tall for my situation. 2) Can I just stack two HTM-12s so two for front right and two for front left? I want to run them parallel to get a 4 ohm load. Will running them like this affect the crossovers? I assume that running them in series would, but parallel should be fine right? Would 2 compression drivers on each side be too much? I want a 4 ohm load to get more out of the Crown 1502 I am using for the fronts. Sincerely, LionelC
Why not use the HTM center channel? Stacking them is probably a really bad idea. If you need something more robust then get the 1899's.
Well, my idea for stacking was to get more power from my amp, I don't think they are any 4 ohm options. I was afraid the double compression drivers would not be a good idea, but wanted to ask. I did not know there was an 1899, and the 1099 seem to be out of stock indefinitely? Now after looking back at the site I see the 1299s! May just have to upgrade my amp. As far as using one for a center, it would not fit under the TV, and might be a bit big for the wife factor as a center. This is not going in a theater room; unfortunately I don't have a basement here in Houston. So would using 1299s for fronts and 1099 for center be a good match?
