R3nOSlaPP Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) get a rockford t400-4 and it'll power those comps nicely edit: i have the prime 300-4 for my doors (two coaxials per door)ran at 2 ohm most components are 4 ohms if u get two sets per door wire at 2 ohm and you'll be golden Edited June 3, 2011 by R3nOSlaPP Quote Vehicle: 2017 Chevrolet Silverado High Country Electrical: 320A Singer Alt, (2) Limitless Lithium 15ah, Full Throttle FT680-48 Speakers: Stevens Audio SA 6 (ACTIVE), Audio Designs 3” Subwoofer: (4) B2 Audio XM 8’s Amplifiers: (2) B2 Audio Rage 2500.1, (1) B2 Audio Rage 1200.6 Processors: NavTv M650 (integration), Helix DSP Pro MK2 Silverado Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Str8Bumpin Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I wasn't planning on fiberglassing the doors purely because I don't have any experience with fiberglass. Would fiberglassing the doorpanels make a significant difference? Just looked at the components specs and they are 4 ohms, I should probably read a little more before I start asking more stupid questions. Thanks for the help again Danny, I'll get back to you tomorrow about this I've got to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm going to take a look at that rockfosgate amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Str8Bumpin Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Another double pot Since I don't need a four channel amp (at least I don't believe I do) could I just run this two channel amp My link? It'd save me a bit of money but it looks like its got just about the same power output. It says 4 Gauge power and ground wire is recommended; That's quite a big difference than the previously recommended 12 gauge wire. I think I may be confused though, should I run 4 gauge from my battery to the amp but 12 to the crossover?

Besides, if you cut a hole and make a little bracket for the speaker its still gonna have its own little pocket, Anyway good luck to the OP dont forget a build log if you plan anything big Quote i shook this one kids hand and it just folded in mine. long story short i fucked his girlfriendso.. yeah..

I couldn't tell you if these speakers would be good for an enclosed application being that I have no experience with them and Im guessing SlaPP doesn't either. nothing says a fiberglass panel will yield you a "cleaner response".

I think I may be confused though, should I run 4 gauge from my battery to the amp but 12 to the crossover? to clarify, your looking for 4 speakers (or components) correct? Id just run a 4 channel and be done with it. you'd run 1 channel to each crossover. then each crossover would have a mid and tweeter. you don't need to be running at 2 ohms. and yes your speaker wire will be a higher gauge (smaller) than your power wire.

I'm struggling to get the money just to afford system I'd like, and I'm quite inexperienced when it comes to fabrication. In your opinion would cutting holes in the current door panels be a good idea? How'd I get a mounting bracket for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
