Posted October 6, 200816 yr which way should i go.i have 16 mids for the MINI. all 8 ohm.8 per door.they will be wired in pairs of 4, in parallel, making each set of 4 mids a 2 ohm load.so its either 2 100.2s, with 8 mids per amp (basically 1 amp per door) running each channel at 2 ohmsor 1 100.4, running 4 mids per channel, at 2 ohms.the 100.2 is rated 200 x 2 @ 2 ohmsthe 100.4 is rated 160 x 2 @ 2 ohmsi know the 100.2 is supposedly a little more underrated than the 100.4 is, but i found a good deal (IMO) on 2 100.2s, bnib for 370 shipped.what do you guys think?
October 6, 200816 yr Author also a 100.4 wont fit behind my seats there. they are 16.5" long i believe, and the new pre order 100.4s are going to be 1.5" longer on top of that. i only have about 16.5" TOTAL width, and the 100.2s are 13.375" long.
October 6, 200816 yr Author yea now that i think about it, since i cant fit the 100.4s behind my seats like the 100.2s will be, that means ill have 2 100.4s in the back, along with 2 3000ds. the 3000s take up 75% of the room, plus batteries, so no way im fitting more than 1 100.4 behind the wall.100.2s it is.
October 6, 200816 yr The 100.2 is more power but the 100.4 has more control. How do you plan on crossing these over?
October 7, 200816 yr Author for the time being, my pioneer 880 will be the xover.when i put that back in my explorer, will be when i finish the CarPuter in the mini, and i can run a crossover and eq software.
