Alrighty, so I picked myself up a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT AWD a couple weeks ago. It's got navigation and the Boston Acoustics 6 speaker system (which incidentally is not all that bad for factory, but it is still factory...). I plan on keeping the factory headunit. Peripheral makes a line out converter with a harness that connects before the factory amp. So my plans for the rest of the system are as follows: I want to do an active frontstage. I want to use the Sundown 100.4 and use the built in crossovers to begin with and eventually add an outboard crossover (incidentally I wouldn't mind some opinions on a decent active crossover). For woofers I'm going to use Mach5 MLI65's (because I have them) and for tweeters Seas 27TFFNC/G http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=1466 (again because I have them). These may get upgraded down the road I just bought them all to play with never did so they just say on the shelf. I'd like to keep stock locations which are doors and dash which I know isn't ideal but I don't really want to do too much to the doors unless it will all fit behind the factory grill. Oh, I'm thinking about running a Behringer DEQ2496. Now the place where I need some advice/opinions on is substage. I'm kind of a basshead so i want LSQ but I'm at a budget for space because I want to use the rear pockets for the subs as shown here: http://www.artofnoiseaudio.com/magnumenclosures.php From what I've measured and heard there should be about .5 to .7 cubic feet available per side. So I'm thinking either a sealed 10 or ported 8 per side. One idea I've had is FiQ 10's off a Sundown 1500. I appreciate all of your opinions and damn I type too much.

Not too much typing.. just not enough Paragraphs.

The only flaws I see are the stock HU and the Behringer. Both will be detrimental to any type of sound quality, whatsoever.

I'm sure someone else will pipe up about the speakers, but if you already have them.. you might as well use them

I'd stick with a sealed 10, but I wouldn't use the Q. Sundown still has the SD1v2 preorder open til the 14th of this month. I'd jump on that if I were you.

What's wrong with the Behr? I've heard of alot of car audio guys using them.

So? Just because they're using them doesn't mean they sound good.

the mli's and seas neo's are a nice combination for the money. i really like the way mine perform.
