I hope you feel better asap sir.

Looks dry as hell IMO. J

Another one for you Mikey!

Just been informed by my sister that I am officially having a new nephew.

dual singer 370s and LEDs done.

Don't just say something if you don't plan on backing it up with some logical reasoning. I am not saying you are incorrect, but I do want to know why you think it will sound bad? Just saying your setup sucks is not helping the situation or providing any means of actually helping. I will be running both 2500d amps at 2 ohms like i previously said I was going to because I already purchased both amps. I think you all need to understand that this is a "show car," this is not a car i drive often (maybe 2k miles a year). Not only do I want it to sound good but it MUST look good. Many of you keep referring to staging and such, yet I do not really care about staging at all. this car only needs to be LOUD & CLEAR (No distortion and or vibrations). With the type of music i listen to staging is not really all that important anyway. I am looking more so for loud and just fill. There will be 8 tweets, 8 5 1/4s, 4 8s and the 2 12s. I'm not sure how you think it will sound like a shit show when it is all being professionally tuned with a good sound processor. also you can't really call it a front stage when most of the speakers will be in the rear in a soundbar like enclosure. Any other input? Audio 101 eludes you. Using any two drivers to play one frequency will create interference. Both constructive and destructive. This will cause a mess not only in the staging which you don’t care about but the frequency response. The sensitivity mismatch in your choices is idiotic. If you don’t understand that then you have no business in installing anything in your car. Your driver size choices are completely confusing as well. A 3 way has one major purpose. That is to get as much of the audible spectrum into a single driver as possible. You made this 8 and then picked a size of driver that will beam like hell and generally sucks donkey dick as a midrange. I didn’t add detail before because seriously you have one of the worst laid out “front stage” ideas I’ve ever seen anyone bring to a forum. No surprise that you find inspiration on SMD where the average forum goer doesn’t know his head from his ass and the whole forum is corrupted due to an owner that is keen to make money of noobs instead of educating them. Fundamentally there is only misinformation there not real information. Your LOUD & CLEAR will be loud but will be FAR from clear. Anyways, I only picked a few items on why it is bad there are a ton more. If you did what I requested though we could actually help instead of telling why what won’t work focus on what could. Your processor choice isn’t so good for this either.

Ugghhh... #1, there is no such thing as "box rise". There is impedance, it both rises and falls, both above and below the actual driver impedance. #2, not a single person can actually tell you how much power they are actually applying to their drivers unless them have swept impedance curve and measured the output voltage of the amp over your entire operating range. Period. #3, you have no idea how much power it will take to attain full output of your driver(s) unless you model them in the EXACT enclosure they are ACTUALLY in...

you do not need that much on the front stage my last system had 2 sets of 6.5" components on the front stage and it went above and beyond what my ears could handle and stayed ahead of the four 15" Xcons very well LIsten to M5............... what you got planned is a shit show , the staging will suck as far as daily power use on the Xcon.... I would stay stay with in the rated RMS for reliability and warranty purposes
