so what are the specs RMS ratings for the 15's i may get some next week

AMEN to this ^^^ i know i catch a lot of slack for my stuff i hook up... also thought this short vid was pretty cool and seemed fun

So why cant you get the big 3 done? i have an 07 escape if you have issues i could help you out with it... just cant get pics till later cuz the wife as it right now at work. Is it the 6 or 4 cylinder? edit: unless you want easier access to the alt to put a h/o in, but you would only need to do it once

Big 3 first, then batteries and waiting on alt is what i did. I just charge my batteries at 6 amps over night to keep them topped up.

Yes i know your right i am over thinking this i just want to get it right cause im not sure. All sppeakers are at an 8 ohm load Sounds good so i decided i will go ahead and get a 2 channel... i will look into that sound digital Ok so i will go ahead and ditch the bass blockers... and on the passive cross over would something like this>>> http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_33608_Audiobahn-ASX02J.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=froogle or do you mean something like this>> http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_23146_Power-Acoustik-C-3184.html Just references not the real products im looking at

so the amp i most likely will consider is http://outlet.crutchfield.com/p_675FRP4001/Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P400-1.html?ssi=0&tp=13643&nvpair=AG_Number_of_Channels%7cFFMono_Subwoofer&tab=detailed_info its factory refurbished and i have a 75 discount card. but however what i plan on running are 2 selenium tweeters rated 100wrms and 2 selenium 8" rated 150wrms. so if there are any options on amps you guys would like to refer im open to all options.

About how much low frequency have you put to some of them? Not sure, but how much of an importance is it to be in the stereo option be? Also, does anyone know if the rms is added together cuz im getting mixed info. And if the amp is rated 500wrms would it be divided through out the speakers? EX. 5 100wrms speaker plugged into a 500wrms mono amp would then each speaker get around the same power of 100wrms. I think generally speaking if each speaker is in the same sqft box and wired all the same then each speaker would get about the same amount of power, then again im not sure

I know that i only go by the rms i am just wondering if more than 1 speaker is wired together does the rms get added together. and my picture posted is of a 2channel amp with 2 svc 8ohm tweeters on each channel a total of 4 tweeters (wired at 4ohm load) 70wrms each tweeter and 2 8" midbass svc 8 ohm (wired to 4ohm load)bridged between the 2 channels 150wrms each midbass speaker. Or my first picture posted is of 2 svc 8ohm tweeters 100wrms each tweeter and 2 svc 8ohm midbass speakers 150wrms each midbass all wired down to a 2ohm load in a mono amp that could have a frequency response of 20-20000hz yes i am using passive crossovers i think they are called that anyways. Im talking about the little cylinder capacitors with the 2 wire points on the ends, or some of the stinger products. So if i wire the tweeters as shown in pic 2 i would use the crossover points at the wire connection where it meets pos to pos then wires to amp? And i would use the proper crossover to block frequency points from a 4ohm load? EX. 0-600hz@ 4ohm. And what about if use the first option where i got all speaker wired at the 2ohm load on a mono block, where would i put the crossover on the tweeters and what ohm load would i use to calculate the crossover point?

Any support with this setup?

If i do it this way what kinda power on my amp should i get? and do i add the WRMS total or the max power total?

Thats some of what i wanted to know... so the RMS will not change with the speakers just the max power? edit: just wondering cuz everything i have looked up states the max power.

i have been looking around and i have seen some amps to allow the frequency response to be 20-20000hz http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Mono-Car-Amplifier/Rockford-Fosgate-P400-1-Punch-Series-400-Watt-RMS-Mono-Block-Amplifier-Car-Amp/P400-1.aspx just as an example. This is why i was wondering. also if i was to use a 2 channel amp and get 4 tweeters that are capable of handling 70wrms and i get 4 of them and each one is 8ohm load and wired together for a 4ohm load and they are in each channel and i have the midbass bridged how would that work? edit: also what about the little capacitors on the tweeters how would they work in this situation? Also if i use a bass blocker that blocks 0-400hz @ 4ohm's would i see it to block 0-200hz @ 8ohm's or 0-800hz @ 2ohm's?

This is more of an example of what i am trying to do. So now i know there is a total of 500wrms. Would i be able to wire it something like this? Could i do the 500wrms or should i do 400wrms? Any suggestions? Also if i use a bass blocker that blocks 0-400hz @ 4ohm's would i see it to block 0-200hz @ 8ohm's or 0-800hz @ 2ohm's? I may be making this more difficult than it really is but i just want to get this right.

Ok so i answered my own question with some other research... http://www.usspeaker.com/speaker%20wiring-1.htm Parallel Wiring - Speakers of equal impedances you divide the impedance value by the number of speakers. To determine the wattage you add the wattage of the speakers together. If you wire (4) 16 ohm speakers in parallel you'd have a 4 ohm cabinet. (2) 16 ohm speakers in parallel would give you an 8 ohm cabinet. If you were using (4) 100 watts speakers you'd have 400 watts power handling. If you were using (2) 100 watt speakers you'd have 200 watts power handling. So know what i need help with is if i have 4 speakers and 2 are 150wrms and the other 2 are 100wrms would i be able to run 500wrms if they were all the same ohm load and wired in parallel to have a 2ohm load then wired into a mono amp? sorry if its confusing i just would like to do things right.

so i want to make sure i am right on this... So if i wire 2 speakers together (in parallel) that handle 100wrms each i do still run about 100wrms or am i able to run 200wrms? sorry for the noob question just wanna make sure that way i dont purchase an amp to large

I plan on running it with the car off sometimes (like when waiting for someone w/ the volume down). Isnt it also possible to just ground the 2nd battery and run the power wire to the monoblock? In parallel as everyone is suggesting is a better idea. No need for the isolator anyway especially if the 4 channel is going to still be connected to the starting battery. You will still end up draining both batteries if the car is off. I had this same question before also and totally went against using the isolator.

18in depth with single 4dia 6length will give you the 33hz

Box dimensions?

anyone else in sa know of where ppl meet an chill now a days? i hear they still do it at the chuki e cheese on military on sundays. are there any other places with a lot of meets? i ahvent been cruising around since high school

bro audio express is a great shop. i may show up to check out the scene. they just need a larger lot

alt to front batt (in 1/0 gauge) then a run of 1/0 from front batt to back batt. for grounding, you can run another 1/0 run from front batt - to back batt -, OR you can just take a short piece of 1/0 from back batt - to frame (paint sanded off so its nice shiny metal) edit: i hope to god you have the big 3 done also big 3 as been done before i put audio in it... was just curious cuz i seen it both ways just wasnt sure if one ways better than the other edit: yes 1/0 is all would use... bigger is better i have always seen

So when i put the second battery in the cargo should i have a run from the alt to each battery or just to the front one?

Also i have a cap a 6 farad i am not using would i benefit from using it or should i just leave in the closet.

any other suggestions on this subject? ^^^^
