cosmo10292 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 whatsup bassheads so i got a question and want to know what your guy's opinions are. So pretty soon im going to be buying a brand new either gmc 1500 sierra crew cab or silverado. Iam gonna do a blow through into the cab with two 15inch soundstream xxx's and i have the amps and everything for that. what i want to know is inside the cab im going to have alot of speakers! 12 tweeters, 4 8inch subs, and 10 6.5 speakers. should i get a shit load of multichannels or a couple mono amps to power all of these?? by the way this is going to be a soundstream build since i have a hookup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZTYBRN Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Do you want mono mids and highs? Probably not. You should really only need like two 4-channels if anything. Plus a mono for your subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 thats overkill for tweeters, if they're super tweeters. still seems like a lot in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmo10292 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 yeah im rethinking it and will probably have one or maybe two tweeters in each door with two 6.5s and one 8 inch sub. so thats 8 tweeters 8 6.5's and 4 8 inch subs. reason why im wondering about mono amps is to have less amps to hook up. also like i said its going to be a blow through so the back seats are going to stay. im getting captains chair in the back and im taking out the console in the middle so you can see the blow through from the bed. so im gonna go look at my buddy's silverado so i can see how many amps i can put under seats!

cosmo10292 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 And yes i want overkill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 i meant overkill as in a really unbalanced mids and highs combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd6 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I never got the whole millions of tweets compared to mids, tweets in general are far more efficient than mids. Off topic though, its all about what makes you happy. You want to use multichannel amps for your mids and highs. "reason why im wondering about mono amps is to have less amps to hook up" Im not trying to be rude in any way but this sentence makes me think you are confused about the difference between multi channel and mono amps...you would need more mono amps than multi channel to achieve the same thing. Plus many mono amps are not designed to play frequencies above 250-500hz Edited May 16, 2012 by mrd6 Quote My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmo10292 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I know what your talking about I was just wondering because I heard about some other people running a class d amp to run their mids. I'm gonna be getting a couple four channels amps to power all of them. Thanks guys for giving me your opinions hopefully if everything goes well and I get my crappy camera up and working ill be posting pics of the build!

mrd6 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 gotcha, I know some companies have been coming out with some real good bargain class d 4 channels. PPI comes to mind, can't remember the series but i believe there is a soundstream version of that too since if I am not mistaken they have the same parent company now. Looking forward to the build, should be sick! Quote My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmo10292 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks and yeah!! I'm actually gonna be running to x3 15's with the xxx15000d amp. Now I'm gonna have to save some money for DC alternators and alot of batteries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
