RF4LIFE Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 So I'm looking to achieve perfect SQ and power and size is not an issue. I want to build the perfect SQ system, i was thinking somewhere along the lines of 8- 6.5" 3-way doors @ 8ohm each playing 250hz-20khz (250hz-500hz= woofer; 500hz-1khz= mid; 1khz-20khz= tweeter) 4- 8" Mid-Bass Woofers @ 4ohm each playing 125hz-250hz 1-12" Sub Woofer @ 2ohm playing 20hz-125hz My question is should i change the 12" for a 15"? Should i change the 4 8's to 2 10's? should i just go to 4 6.5's, 2 8's, and one 10"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I really don't know where to start. Even if you had 2,000 dollar speaker pairs it still couldn't be anywhere close to sq 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobass Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ideally for sq, you would not want that many drivers. Sounds like you wanta system that is just loud and clear if you want that many drivers. Simpler is usually better. But anyway, as long as you have an amp that will put out your desired amount of power at 8 ohms, there should be no problem. 2000 Subaru outback 2.5l Head Unit: Pioneer deh 4300ub front stage: tbd subwoofer: Stock Fi Q 18" amp: Audio que 1200d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF4LIFE Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 ok, so should i just stick with 8 6.5's, 4 8's, and one 12"? or should i upgrade the 12" to a 15"? and substitute the 4 8's for 2 10's? will there be ANY SQ advantage with any of those changes? also is there a physical number for SQ? like the QTS of a driver? i know Displacement is directly linked to SPL, but is there any value or measurement for representing SQ?

Skullz Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 You really need to head on over to diyma and browse for some time checking out sq systems and seeing what people are using and running cause your getting loud and clear confused with sq. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub driver stage should not go over 70 htz ... Mine normally is not needed until around 50 htz (because my 6.5" drivers in my front doors play down to 40 htz) ... and my sugggestion ... run your sub(s) at 4 ohms mono ... not bridged (gives you more headroom in the amp) Kenwood / HELIX / Linear Power (For The Love Of Music) / Brutal Sounds / OverKill Electric Co Questions About Sound Quality ??
