Good SQ tweeter
As far as I know the difference between those 2 morel supreme tweets is just the offset (that is all). I'm also pretty sure the Morel Supremes are not the same as the Morel Supremos The Hammer

Head Unit Suggestions
At this time of year you should be able to find lots of last years model (brand new) on clear out to make room for the new stuff. A few suggestions: Clarion DXZ835MP ($229 almost half price) Clarion DXZ645MP ($299... with free SIRIUS Tuner) Panasonic MXE CQ-C8400U ($349) Alpine 7998 ($399... that's $400 off) I think if you stick to a good brand name almost anything in that price range will keep you smiling.

Head Unit Suggestions
There are so many, we need to narrow it down some. - What is your budget? - Any other features that you would like? - What other equipment will be in this install? - What vehicle is it for? The Hammer

Heck, Maybe I'll go with a 72 cadillac Hearse. (deal fell through on one about 10 years ago.. I was so close.. and it had new curtains!!! I was going to do a coffin sub enclosure .. man that would have been slick). I'd really like to get a new(er) car and like the practically of these mazda/toyota/honda type cars.. aswell as the decent resale. If I had a winning scratch & win (say $50-100,000 or so), I'd probably buy a much bigger car say a Potniac GP, Cadillac, Lincoln or something. I guess that really confuses the issue until I actually buy, but always open to suggestions on the audio setup. I guess your right. In a way I do have a good idea of what I want. I have been out of the game for a long time and reading these forums gets me all worked up some days. Longing for the open road and hot sun and the TUNES. The Hammer

Addicted to Power
Made sense to me. I was sort of leaning towards The 8ohm Usher tweets powered by the Sounstream Picasso. The 4.5" vifa (jbls) powered with 100W per from the 2 front channels of the TRu 4.100. The Vifa 7" x 4 wired as a 2 ohm load and running off of the rear channels of the TRu 4.100. Then the Sub(s) running off of say the Alpine MRV-1507, or maybe even the USAmps USA-150. I'm fairly certain I'll go with Sealed enclosure(s) for the sub(s). Might consider making the sub box out of steel or aluminum and deaden the inside of it deaden the heck out of the entire car before any install is even thought about. Upgrade the Alt, Batt and the "big three" right away. HU out to say AC Matrix 2 channels to the epicenter, then onto the sub amp, two more channels to the Picasso, and 2 more to the Tru. Use the amps crossovers, or use the AC EQX somewhere in there. I'll have a much better idea once I decide on and get a vehicle for the project. Not sure how it will all sound (especially these particular components of the 3 way set) until it's all together. One thing I was kinda worried about is weather or not the TRu 4.100v2 would object to having 2 channels run at 4 ohms, and the other two channels at 2 ohms.(at the same time). The Hammer

Addicted to Power
Apparently I'm addicted to power. I currently have a ton of equipment sitting in the basement, and no vehicle to put it all in. Seem I keep buying amplifiers. I own a work van that I drive daily, a 1966 Buick that looks pretty in the driveway, and I have no intention of putting a system in that. I just have way too much hardware so my plans keep changing. I'm after a total SQ install, and "over the top volume"(across all frequency ranges not just bass) is something that is VERY important to me. EXTREME mid-bass and VERY clear loud highs are a must. Any suggestions as to which equipment I use and don't use are welcome. here is a list: HU- Denford 8240 HU- Denford 8240 Cap- Voodoo 5 Farad Rackmount Capacitor EQ- Audio Control Epicenter EQ- Audio Control EQX Amp- Rodek 2150i Amp- Alpine MRV-1507 Amp- Alpine MRD-F752 (NIB) Amp- Alpine MRD-F752 Amp- Soundstream Reference 644s Amp- Soundstream Reference Picasso Amp- Nakamichi PA-2004 Amp- TRu 4.100 2 x Usher 9950 Tweeters 4 x Vifa PL 7" Midbass (actually own 5) 2 x Vifa JBL 4.5" Midrange (actually own 3) 1 x eD15A Subwoofer (first flat nomex model) 2 x 12" SI Magnum D2s Subwoofer (Claw basket) looks like I'm buying a pair of TB 8"s too What would you do? I'm still a ways off from buying a vehicle for the install so nothing can be finalized yet. Most likely looking at a new Mazda 3 or Toyota Matrix or similar. (That's what I need more payments). I'm open for any input, and I think I should stop buying amplifiers. The Hammer

Just thought I would hop on board .. I purchased 2 12" Claw basket Magnums from Nick during a sale last summer. I have yet to put them into service, but hope to sooner or later I'm sure some will recognise TheHammer from SIN or ECA The Hammer
