Why do you feel the need to run the 20.1 to its "full" potential? (which, btw is not 1800w - its significantly more than that). Coming from the Mag in a sealed box.. have you ever tried it ported? It might give you what you want.

Basically, what I'm saying.... Use one tweeter. I doubt the deck you have has the necessary time alignment functions to make that setup "really" sound good.

awww I hate working on sundays.

That's entirely dependant upon too many things. What type of box? Ported? What frequency is the port? What is the resonant frequency of the car? I could go on for days about this. Pick one or the other, it'll be a 50/50 chance either way.

I'd just like to say: "I told you so".

Something to consider before you start sweating over where to put the tweeters is Time Alignment and Delay. If you have a good Head unit, place the tweeters anywhere you want, and then measure the delay time to the mid. Use that time to back up the tweeter signal to the mid and you'll be in better shape than if the drivers were right next to each other.

That tweeter on the A piller needs to go.

The Sundown SAZ-1500D from the SSA shop would fit you nicely. If you email them, they can give you a better price.

As far as speaker setup goes, I would keep the active 3-ways in the front since you seem pretty set on that. For the Passenger doors and the rear speakers, just do some Coaxial speakers. I'd connect the rear four together and set it up so you can turn them off or down if you're the only one in the car.

on another note, cheap tens that sound good but are probably not the best in the SPL department... Try the Mach5 MAW-10.

Why bother bumping your budget up? TBH $50 isn't going to effect the drivers whatsoever. Why does it have to be 2 10's? Like M5 said, a single 12 or even a 15 is well within your $250 price range.

Either the Q or the SSD would be fine with the power you'll have. If you're looking to save space, go with the Q in a sealed box.

Titebond III FTMFW!!

ROFL You won't need to upgrade at all if you run just that amp. In fact, you might be able to run 4 of them before you need to upgrade anything.

He just got the CDX-c90

There are a lot of good pioneeer's in the shop here that are in your price range.

lol, what was that accessory that added digital eq externally to it? That'd be a nice combo.

Body resistance low in comparison to a foot or two of 4 ga or 1/0 copper wire? Are you daft? 2.4 ten-thousandths of an ohm per foot for 4ga. Compared to a car body with an unknown path to ground and unknown electrical continuity to ground as well as one made from a material with 10x the resistance of copper, I'll take the extra foot or two of copper to get to the frame. Go measure resistance on a unibody car. It's as low as most wire. I was an nonbeliever once too.

Running a lot of power has nothing to do with the head unit being ok. I've never heard of that brand, I try to stick with the tried and true. You can't really beat Eclipse's video decks for the price. Best screens I've seen under $2k.

That's debatable I'm sure. But that is a supremely nice deck.

Why did you even start SSA?

What was your favorite system? And what car was it in?

Have you ever done or considered your own lingerie line?

Not really, body resistance is quite low in comparison.
