Give me your guys' input and thoughts, I want this to sound great!!

yeah its a model from 1990-1991!! I went with the old slider style eq to get better control! They have a DEQ 230 that is comparitive, but not as efficient now! My whole point in the build was to prove "old school" is still alive and kicking!!

My only question is what else does your front stage consist of? Tweeters? MidRange? Mid-Bass? Are those 6.5's coaxial/2-way? If so looks like a great sleeper system.

I planned on doing something similair in my wifes car. Full active 6.5 components in the front with a single 12 sealed for the sub.

Last year I ran all old school MTX amps and crossovers for my SQ set up. It consisted of an active MB Quart 3-way for my front stage and a DC Audio 12" for my sub. Sub really had to be adjusted so it didn't over power the set up when tuned for SQ.

Yeah the Kefs have a fixed tweeter in the center of the midbass!!

Yeah you can say the system is as sleeper, but im gonna have a little bit of flash with fabrication, but gonna keep it clean and tastefull, with just some kick panels and some door pods for the crossovers on the front, then the back will have pods for asthetics.

Linear Power!!!!! a buddy of ours bought a whole shit load of those amps.

Have you thought about using the alpine imprint with the deck? I plan on using the same deck in the wifes build using the imprint to go full active crossover. the imprint only allows for a front/rear (mid/tweeter) and sub. You would need another channel, one for the mid and one for the tweeter.

Im only running the 2 speakers and a sub, but with the Alesis and my tuning software, I should get better sound and clarity! But I have thought about it, just dont want to spend the money!!

I have decided to change my sub stage to get more out of my Zapco, and to save my Onyx for my HT setup!

New sub will be a T3 Audio T.1000 D2 10" in a ported trumpet style enclosure! Tuned to 36hz!
