Posted June 16, 200916 yr some people know that I want to switch my blazer over to sq after I get a car for bass race/db drag so here is what I have so far let me know what you thinkmids amp (2ohms)http://www.woofersetc.com/p6743/PCX2125--P...t-Amplifier.htmtweeter amp (2ohms)http://www.woofersetc.com/p6743/PCX2125--P...t-Amplifier.htmsub amp (at 1.5ohms)http://ampguts.realmofexcursion.com/DD_Z1/head unit ( I have just wanted to try it)http://www.woofersetc.com/p6576/CD7200-mkI...CD-receiver.htmmids for dashhttp://www.woofersetc.com/p1564/ES400--CDT...;-Midranges.htmmids for doorhttp://www.woofersetc.com/p1566/ES600--CDT...;-Midranges.htmtweeters (a pillar mounted)http://www.woofersetc.com/p7450/DRT26T--CD...um-Tweeters.htmsubshttp://www.soundsplinter.com/rls12_subwoof...nformation.htmldesign for the subs and amp rack 1.5" birch 5ft tuned to 34hz carpet and velvet coveredso what do you think along way away but I have wanted to do it forever any tipsthis will be the first real active setup I do as well
June 16, 200916 yr i am still trying to figure out the tweet amp you got to much power for the tweets i think even if you adjust the gain way down. this is the only problem i have with active set ups. oh btw i would add this eq or better for fine tuning the set up.http://www.woofersetc.com/p1265/EQX--Audio...r-Crossover.htmi could see these tweets run off a amp in parallel they can handle some wattage http://www.woofersetc.com/p4789/Supremo-Pi...ed-Tweeters.htm Edited June 16, 200916 yr by sadistic_customs
June 17, 200916 yr Author wow I read 100rms (I'm using 4 of them) I'll look at other ones 10 watts just isn't going to work at all
June 17, 200916 yr the hu might have individual gains (i didnt look it over at all), so that amp might work... my clarion can go from 0 to -20 db i believe, so a feature like that could limit the power enough to allow an amp like that... (just speculation here)
June 17, 200916 yr Author how about these morels http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=277-082
June 17, 200916 yr how about these morels http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.c...tnumber=277-082those were designed for home theater use but i am sure they will work in a car audio situation. but as always i suggest the right item for the right item use. any ways look around and see what you can find because i seen a lot of different brand tweet at woofers mite want to click on tweeters on the left tool bar on woofers web site and search there tweets. me personally i prefer silk tweets the metal tweets like aluminum and titanium just sound to much like a metal symbol and are to harsh. same with mylar domes. any ways looks like a awesome build.
June 17, 200916 yr here are some from woofers i am sure sonic has some to along with every one else These you could buy two sets and run series parallel at 4 ohms http://www.woofersetc.com/p7042/CAL-25-SIL...t;-Tweeters.htmthis one s sold individually so you would have to buy two at $189x2=almost400 don't know were your price break is http://www.woofersetc.com/p4964/KT825--Zap...ome-Tweeter.htmsame with these series parallel just remember what I said about aluminum earlier I have heard i.d. is not that good but every one is a critic. The harshness can be cut back by a eq too http://www.woofersetc.com/p6574/D3TAK--Dia...r-Addon-Kit.htm
June 17, 200916 yr Author I always forget about rainbowthose zapco's would kill my wallet I'll be running 2 tweets each side angled differently to cover the whole place where I sit evenly 760 in tweets is almost as much as the subs

June 17, 200916 yr Author well anything is better than the bullet tweets in there now (my focals blew when my settings got reset)
June 17, 200916 yr well anything is better than the bullet tweets in there now (my focals blew when my settings got reset)ouch
June 17, 200916 yr Author well anything is better than the bullet tweets in there now (my focals blew when my settings got reset)ouchyeah thats how my tweets right now sound too
June 17, 200916 yr I always forget about rainbowthose zapco's would kill my wallet I'll be running 2 tweets each side angled differently to cover the whole place where I sit evenly 760 in tweets is almost as much as the subsahhh what... umm hear read this over quickly... just the first section on interference... (pulled this off a quick google search, but it get the point across)LINK...if u dont understand, its basicly saying that running multiple speakers producing the same sound is a no no...
June 17, 200916 yr Author I should rename it I'm not going for sq just something loud and sounds pretty good no one will ever be there to judge it so I don't care how it would do at a sq comp
June 17, 200916 yr The less drivers the better. Two tweets is not SQ.completely right i am trying to get across that sound system should be correct in all aspects. like a lot of the idiots that think bass is all you need and should be louder then the rest etc etc ... when it should not be should be a reinforcing punch to the music .I always forget about rainbowthose zapco's would kill my wallet I'll be running 2 tweets each side angled differently to cover the whole place where I sit evenly 760 in tweets is almost as much as the subsahhh what... umm hear read this over quickly... just the first section on interference... (pulled this off a quick google search, but it get the point across)LINK...if u dont understand, its basicly saying that running multiple speakers producing the same sound is a no no...correct!! I should rename it I'm not going for sq just something loud and sounds pretty good no one will ever be there to judge it so I don't care how it would do at a sq compi would hate to say this but why not run them off the cd player the component set? it how i got mine set up right now. this is the problem i have with amping the mid's / highs you can not find the good one's for cheap. that can handle power. the only reason i do not sit here and say this is the best tweet go with these is i had about 5-6 different component sets before i liked what i have now. some from woofersetc.com that look like i bought at full priced opened boxed i was not even going to deal with the hassle of retuning 70 bucks to cost me more. which is total bs should be right the first time. btw i hear polk sr's are good speakers from some people on the web most of all the 6500 series they got silk tweets etc etc.. right now i am running cadence z series 5.25's they got silk tweets too i paid 60 bucks shipped free for mine from the cadence store on e bay and own two set of them any ways i have heard and seen good about cdt components sets. if you see what i said earlier i have had to go threw crap because of not liking what i had. you could run a set of good 8's of the other amps and use them to reinforce the mid bass in between the 12's. but not saying you need all subs they do sell 6.5 that are used as subs this is why i was thinking 8's or 6.5's it how i mite run my set up. this is so i can run the second and third amp so it not a one amp install.

June 18, 200916 yr correct but the 6.5 mli's will if you run those off the amps for mid bass but then you got to pay a ton for tweets which maybe big problem if you know what i mean or is it not ??? this is were i settled on a smaller system. for my daily driver most of all if your not going to compete. like me why go for mega watts when you do not need it most of all if your not going to compete. just a suggestion would like to see you do what you want and get your dream system set up. any ways best of luck on the install and do not forget to comb ebay for good tweets you may find those 400 dollar ones for 100 each.

June 18, 200916 yr Just an fyi, when you post links to equipment state what it is above the link. Most people won't click (including myself) so it is pretty hard to comment. If you truly want help you should make it a goal to make it easy to help you.
