This has been bugging me so help! For my daily driver SQ system I need to power:

12" Soundsplinter Rl-p --sealed

7" Seas W18e0001 -- IB in custom kicks

Alpine F1 Status Tweet D2904/61001 on a pillars

Old School Amplifiers I have already--power listed at 4 ohms:

PG zx475ti -- 75x4 , 250x2

PG M44 -- 55x4, 160x2

Alpine 3032 -- 30x2

Sony XM-3520 -- 35x2

Pioneer GM-2000 -- 50x2

My current setup has the zx475 running the Rl-p with 250w on ea coil and the M44 bridged running my front stage passive. I plan on using the setup as is but going active and using one of my other amps for powering the tweeters. My concern with the Alpine is the lack of gains and its size. The others I hadn't really considered using but could be swayed.

My options:

1) Use what I have--or keep for later

2) Buy a new tweeter amp

What do you think. If you want me to buy an amp, please recommend!

PG 475 on the mids, M44 for the tweets and a new sub amp, gain is your friend

My only problem with that is I run out of amp mounting space and 160w x 2 is way overkill on the tweets. I would prefer to run the mids of the 475 though. The bummer of course is my PG M25 died which would have been perfect

you could run the tweets un bridged. 55W each isnt over kill

True, but then I should sell it and get a 2chn instead of 4.

you should sell:

Alpine 3032

Sony XM-3520

Pioneer GM-2000

Chit, I left the best extra amp off the list. I even found my old birth sheet for it. This is of course what stemmed me to place the post in the first place. I have an old RF Puch 150HD (build date 9-16-1991). Birthed at 190 w/chn 2ohm otherwise rated at 75wx2 4 ohm. Would this sound okay to drive me tweeters? My understanding is that it is of vintage enough to still be a decent piece, but want to make sure before putting it into my car especially since it will be playing from ~2k+. The footprint is the right size too!

Do it

Do it now !

I assume then you mean the RF is okay? If so, as soon as I can get my glassing finished in she goes.

yessir

Now to find the X-over....
