akaak Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Alright so I'll give you guys some backround information. I have a 2008 Honda Fit Sport. 180 amp singer alt and xs d5100r under the hood, and 2 xs xp3000's in the hatch. 2 soundqubed 2200s strapped @ 2 ohms (each seeing 1 ohm) pushing 2 hdc315's in a 10 ish cu ft box tuned to 32hz. I don't k now how much port area there is, but it's a lot. These things get low. Sometimes I wish I tuned a little higher, but that's a whole other topic. I haven't played many test tones but on music I've been metered at 153.8 and as high as 149.9 @ 29hz. My mids and high keep up with the bass, but they're missing that "wow" factor. People that don't know anything about car audio will be blown away by 150+db of bass on music, but I want the vocals to be just as mind blowing. I like to leave room for improvement, so I'm not gonna get custom doors made quite yet. As of now I have a second box mounted on the front of my sub box with 4 soundqubed 6.5 pro audio speakers and 2 of there supertweeters. I have some old powerbass components (you don't even hear them). The tweeters have been blown for so long, sometimes I wonder whether or not I need them. I have a ppi 900.4 pushing the mids and highs. So basically my whole system consists of 2 hdc315's on 4.4k, and 4 soundqubed pro audio mids receiving about 100 rms each. It sounds damn good and range is unbelievable for only having 2 different speakers. Now comes to the real part where I need feedback. I don't know why, but I've decided to go with prv audio for my mids and highs. I'm gonna stick with my ppi 900.4 for now, it does a little more than 200 rms per channel x 4. Down the road, I'll be converting to a crescendo 1100.4. I know that 4 8 ohm speakers can be wired down to a 2 ohm load. So essentially I could run 16 8 ohm speakers on 4 channels each seeing 2 ohms. I want 4 8"s, 4 6.5"s, 4 of their highest end super tweeters, and 4 of their compression/wave guide combo (mostly because I think they'll Look cool). what do you guys think? I know I'd save money by not having to get amother custom box made if I just went right with it and got custom doors made for all the speakers, but like I said I like to leave room for improvement down the road when I get bored again (probably 2 months lol). Any and all help is appreciated guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think I would not get in that. My ears would bleed. Not sure how you are going to wire all those to a single amp. unless you are just going to drop each type of speaker on a single channel, but it would sound even worse that way.

hoit Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 :slayer:glass the doors! there is so much knowledge to be found in this forum! IMHO, that sounds crazy to run that many speakers on one amp, and how to crossover, may be challenging! best of luck bro!! 2007 Chevy Aveo Ls sedan 2 Sundown Xv2 on scv4k @ .5 ohm 2 pair RE XXX 6.5 components on sax200.4 @ 2 ohm Big Three, Three runs 1/0 power from front to back, 1 ground front to back Two runs ground from rear bank to chassis XS power d3100 upfront, 3 Odyssey 2150s in bank Singer 220 amp alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 If you're going to do it you need more amp's or you'll never be able to get them crossed over properly. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

kirill007 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Nope... Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaak Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 what if instead of getting such a ridiculous amount of speakers, I just got the more expensive neo ones. I wouldn't need as many speakers since the sensitivity is through the roof on them Vs the regular prv 8"s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 it's not necessarily the amount of speakers, but more so the amount of different types (frequency ranges) you have. why not simplify it some and put some 8s (or 6.5s) on the rear channels and some tweeters on the front channels?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 There are plenty of builds out there with that many or more mid and highs in them not something I would do but if you really want to do it you're just going to need more amps. Less speakers will be easier to work with but you'll still need more than one amp.

akaak Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I see what you're saying. But an amp like the crescendo 1100.4 does 300 rms at 2 ohms x 4. So if I can wire 4 8 ohm speakers down to a 2 ohm load, then why not put 16 speakers on 4 channels? Each speaker will be able to handle 100 rms. So if there's 4 speakers receiving 300 rms per channel, I should be fine. Don't get me wrong, it's gonna be a bitch to wire. do you think 2 2 channel amps would be better?

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 It's the different types of speakers that are the problem , you wouldn't want 6.5's and 8's on the same channel or the two different types of tweeters on the same channel. For what you want to do you would need 8 channels of amplification.
