I got the hex set new in box for 100.. i like to tinker..and building xovers for a set of evil mids n tweets sounda extremely gratifying.. Just not sure what materials id need and how to go about it ..

Probably another stupid question but. Would it be a bad idea to swap the tweeters out of my component set. Leaving the hex midbass and crossovers and just doing a tweeter swap?

Yeah you guys are a big help. And not bustin my nuts in the process. I appreciate that. So what kind of watt range should I be looking for for this 4 channel amp ?

So if i ignore the ohm on mids how do i get full power from the amp (the 2 ohm rating)

Ok. I already ordered the 4ohm 6.5 ssa drivers

They got one under $250.. http://www.techronics.com/caraudio_15790_Zapco-DC200-2-DC-Reference-series-2-Channel-Car-Amplifier.html but it only does 50 Watts at 4 Ohms. I don't suppose you don't suppose there's any way to get the SSA components to 2 ohms? Sorry for my ignorance. Car audio is a lot to learn

Yeah. Was just looking at them..Those amps are out of my price range and sound much more advanced than my patience will tollerate. I just really wanted to run ssa mids and tweets.. but not sure what amp to get. Or crossovers to use. With them.. i definitely want my amps to match. Picking up this for my subs http://www.woofersetc.com/st-1650xm-ii-zapco-monoblock-1650w-rms-class-d-amplifier.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw5_vHBRCBtt2NqqCDjiESJABD5rCJegZVIcEhvZlcCWx6mPipmFPVpGBT9u63DL7b3mn86BoCbKbw_wcB. Someone said i could build xovers idk. Perhaps i should stick with the HEX components

Ok. And i wont need any external xovers for the ssa mids and tweets?

Dap or dsp?

I have a good sub. But it's the old style with the inverted cone. And the new sub of course does not. Not to mention. I would like to have to Fresh Subs..So it's getting rebuilt either way. So I still have the option for 1 ohm or 2 ohm subs.

I orders my sub last night. Im sure I still have time to change the impedance before they build it. And i need to recone my current sub. I can change to a 1 ohm if need be? And get the full 2000 watts fron the amp? Sorry for my ignorance.. its my first real build.

This is my current setup. I'm also planning on doubling the size of that box . Replacing both these amps . For the zapco amps . One for my Subs one for my components . I've got no room for three amps

I do have a 2ohm sub wire to 1 ohm. I ordered another 2ohm sub. I was going to buy one of these 2 amps http://www.woofersetc.com/st-1650xm-ii-zapco-monoblock-1650w-rms-class-d-amplifier.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw_uvHBRDUkumF0tLFp3cSJACAIHMYgAx0U_IHYoH-PMLa8OVwgvtiH1ivB74IdvDMSE3woxoCRpfw_wcB http://www.woofersetc.com/st-2000xm-ii-zapco-monoblock-2000w-rms-class-d-amplifier.html Do i want 1ohm subs?

So I posted a build log. Was posting several pictures of my build then eventually it would no longer give me the option to attach an image.. not only on that one post. But any post in this forum

I have 2 group 78 800cca. 110-115 reserve capacity each...Unfortunately a 95 amp is the biggest alternator anyone makes for a aircooled vw.. the only positive side to an old bug is theres almost no electrical draw to the car other than the head and tail lights ..but at 1200 watts on the sub and another 250 on the components im seeing no dimming evin with the headlights on and bass cranked for 30+ mins.. and i rarely drive the car at night.

Thanks for posting those pictures for me

Thank you sir.. It's not my first car build. But it's my first big stereo build and interior job that I did a hundred percent myself..

So I'm currently running one 2ohm 12 inch icon on a 1200 watt Cadence amp at 1 ohm.. in 2.4 cubes tuned at 29.. it sounds very good. But I want louder more spl.. as much as I can cram in the back of the bug without losing my backseat.... was initially going to move to a 15" X or zcon. Somebody here said my best bet would be to add a 2nd icon 12.. so that's my plan. I think I can squeeze 4.5 to5 cubes and was thinking 34-35 Hertz.. I definitely want to get a better quality amp even though I've had zero issues with the Cadence. It doesn't even get hot.. but I'm pretty set on the zapco St series amps. My question is how many watts should I give the icons. Without straining my electrical too much. Currently with the 1200 watts I have absolutely no dimming even with my brights on and bass hitting at maxx..they have a 1350 Watt a 1650 Watt. And a 2000 Watt.... keep in mind. This car is not a daily driver, just mostly for an occasional trip to work, car shows and hot rodding around town like an arseho a bit on the weekends. But I'm thinking 2000 Watts plus a couple hundred for my components is going to be too hard on my electrical. Will 1350 Watts be enough between two subs.. should I go for the 1650 ? I hope this isn't a stupid question

Okay here's Photobucket links to the rest of the build. Although I am going to be changing up all the stereo equipment. Double up on the sub. New amps and components..never satisfied http://s1244.photobucket.com/user/jjzickowski1/library/amp tray http://Hello! jjzickowski1 shared an album with you.

Me to. Strictly

How did you know fat girls are my thing?

Im tryin. Not sure why i cant post more pics

Nothing's loading into that imgur.. I got a lot more pictures. I didn't even get to the good stuff

Ok

Why is it not giving me the option to upload more pictures
