my sq system plan

[wenn_du_weinst 1]

some people know that I want to switch my blazer over to sq after I get a car for bass race/db drag so here is what I have so far let me know what you think

mids amp (2ohms)

http://www.woofersetc.com/p6743/PCX2125--P...t-Amplifier.htm

tweeter amp (2ohms)

http://www.woofersetc.com/p6743/PCX2125--P...t-Amplifier.htm

sub amp (at 1.5ohms)

http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/DD_Z1/

head unit ( I have just wanted to try it)

http://www.woofersetc.com/p6576/CD7200-mkI...CD-receiver.htm

mids for dash

http://www.woofersetc.com/p1564/ES400--CDT...;-Midranges.htm

mids for door

http://www.woofersetc.com/p1566/ES600--CDT...;-Midranges.htm

tweeters (a pillar mounted)

http://www.woofersetc.com/p7450/DRT26T--CD...um-Tweeters.htm

subs

http://www.soundsplinter.com/rls12_subwoof...nformation.html

design for the subs and amp rack 1.5" birch 5ft tuned to 34hz carpet and velvet covered

so what do you think along way away but I have wanted to do it forever any tips

this will be the first real active setup I do as well

[sadistic 13]

i am still trying to figure out the tweet amp you got to much power for the tweets i think even if you adjust the gain way down. this is the only problem i have with active set ups. oh btw i would add this eq or better for fine tuning the set up.

http://www.woofersetc.com/p1265/EQX--Audio...r-Crossover.htm

i could see these tweets run off a amp in parallel they can handle some wattage

[wenn_du_weinst 1]

wow I read 100rms (I'm using 4 of them)

I'll look at other ones 10 watts just isn't going to work at all

[lithium 358]

the hu might have individual gains (i didnt look it over at all), so that amp might work... my clarion can go from 0 to -20 db i believe, so a feature like that could limit the power enough to allow an amp like that... (just speculation here)

[wenn_du_weinst 1]

how about these morels

http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=277-082

those were designed for home theater use but i am sure they will work in a car audio situation. but as always i suggest the right item for the right item use. any ways look around and see what you can find because i seen a lot of different brand tweet at woofers mite want to click on tweeters on the left tool bar on woofers web site and search there tweets. me personally i prefer silk tweets the metal tweets like aluminum and titanium just sound to much like a metal symbol and are to harsh. same with mylar domes. any ways looks like a awesome build.

[sadistic 13]

here are some from woofers i am sure sonic has some to along with every one else

These you could buy two sets and run series parallel at 4 ohms

http://www.woofersetc.com/p7042/CAL-25-SIL...t;-Tweeters.htm

this one s sold individually so you would have to buy two at $189x2=almost400 don't know were your price break is

http://www.woofersetc.com/p4964/KT825--Zap...ome-Tweeter.htm

same with these series parallel just remember what I said about aluminum earlier I have heard i.d. is not that good but every one is a critic. The harshness can be cut back by a eq too

http://www.woofersetc.com/p6574/D3TAK--Dia...r-Addon-Kit.htm

[wenn_du_weinst 1]

I always forget about rainbow

those zapco's would kill my wallet

I'll be running 2 tweets each side angled differently to cover the whole place where I sit evenly

760 in tweets is almost as much as the subs

here are some from sonic electronix to me the selection is not that great i should put this in big red print. to make sure you read it

I think these are 130 but cheek the speck at the manufacture web site kenwood-usa.com or kenwoodusa.com any ways 2 set in a series parallel configure will work .

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6938_K...d+KFC-T207.html

I know people are going to say these are junk but you got to have choices if you buy them it a series parallel configure at 4 ohms

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11519_Kicker+08KS25.html

\

here is another series parallel so you need two

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_2879_R...+Power+T1T.html

another series parallel configure to bad there metal dome tweet most of them

100% daily I don't have the time or money to have 2 comp vehicles I will have 1 s10 blazer with 4 shocker sigs and around 20,000 watts to do comps with

what about these would make aiming alot easier

ya those would work too but like i said i have hear bad about them and good about them i just do a little checking

[wenn_du_weinst 1]

well anything is better than the bullet tweets in there now (my focals blew when my settings got reset)

[sadistic 13]

yeah thats how my tweets right now sound too

[johnecon2001 82]

The less drivers the better. Two tweets is not SQ.

ahhh what... umm hear read this over quickly... just the first section on interference... (pulled this off a quick google search, but it get the point across)

LINK

...if u dont understand, its basicly saying that running multiple speakers producing the same sound is a no no...

[wenn_du_weinst 1]

I should rename it I'm not going for sq just something loud and sounds pretty good

no one will ever be there to judge it so I don't care how it would do at a sq comp

[sadistic 13]

completely right i am trying to get across that sound system should be correct in all aspects. like a lot of the idiots that think bass is all you need and should be louder then the rest etc etc ... when it should not be should be a reinforcing punch to the music .

correct!!

i would hate to say this but why not run them off the cd player the component set? it how i got mine set up right now. this is the problem i have with amping the mid's / highs you can not find the good one's for cheap. that can handle power. the only reason i do not sit here and say this is the best tweet go with these is i had about 5-6 different component sets before i liked what i have now. some from woofersetc.com that look like i bought at full priced opened boxed i was not even going to deal with the hassle of retuning 70 bucks to cost me more. which is total bs should be right the first time.

btw i hear polk sr's are good speakers from some people on the web most of all the 6500 series they got silk tweets etc etc.. right now i am running cadence z series 5.25's they got silk tweets too i paid 60 bucks shipped free for mine from the cadence store on e bay and own two set of them any ways i have heard and seen good about cdt components sets. if you see what i said earlier i have had to go threw crap because of not liking what i had. you could run a set of good 8's of the other amps and use them to reinforce the mid bass in between the 12's. but not saying you need all subs they do sell 6.5 that are used as subs this is why i was thinking 8's or 6.5's it how i mite run my set up. this is so i can run the second and third amp so it not a one amp install.

20 watt head unit power is not going to keep up with 5000 watts of sub power

[sadistic 13]

correct but the 6.5 mli's will if you run those off the amps for mid bass but then you got to pay a ton for tweets which maybe big problem if you know what i mean or is it not ???

this is were i settled on a smaller system. for my daily driver most of all if your not going to compete. like me why go for mega watts when you do not need it most of all if your not going to compete. just a suggestion would like to see you do what you want and get your dream system set up. any ways best of luck on the install and do not forget to comb ebay for good tweets you may find those 400 dollar ones for 100 each.

yeah I'm not buying from woofersect just the easiest way to link products

and I can't stand having a small system the smallest I have had in 3 years is my 1 12" off of 5000watts doing like a 146-147

Just an fyi, when you post links to equipment state what it is above the link. Most people won't click (including myself) so it is pretty hard to comment. If you truly want help you should make it a goal to make it easy to help you.
