jbiddle.com Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 So i know im not really like everyone else on this forum im kinda building my system backwards. i have completed my mids and highs stage of my system i currently have this set up Alpine CDA-9887 head unit set on active 2 Alpine V12 MRV-F545 4 channel amps 2 crescendo PWX 8" mids 6 crescendo PWX 6" mids 6 crescendo ft1 super tweeters Amp one will have one 8" mid on each of channels 1, and 2 wired to 4 ohms per channel crossed over at 80hz mounted in door panels 250w rms total will have 4 super tweeter on each of channels 3, and 4 wired to 2.67 ohms per channel crossed over at 3400hz 2 in each door panel, 2 in center consol, 415w rms total Amp two will have one 6" mid on each of channels 1, and 2 wired into 4 ohms per channel crossed over at 100 hz Mounted in custom kick panels 250w rms total Will have two 6" mid on each of channels 3, and 4 wired into 2 ohms per channel crossed over at 100hz mounted in door panels 500w rms total all together thats about 1415 watts rms for my mids and highs. i knwo thats alot but i love the sound of loud as shit good quality mids and highs. now here comes the reall question what about the bass i know i need it and more than that i want it im lacking it but how many watts do i need to keep up with my mids and highs i was thinking two diamond audio d6 15's in a 7 cube box tuned to 33 hz on a JBL Gto14001 that would give me 1500w rms for my subs but is that really enough for that much mids and highs?? or should i try to save the money to get two diamond audio hex pro 15's and a JBL Gto24001. and make the same size and tuned box and yes i have already decided on diamond audio for subs and the jbl gto amps. just need to know what you guys thing about my ideas??

Guest Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) you're gonna need a high output alt and some batteries. just to let you know edit: you've never used ssa or dc or aq, so theres no way to tell if your diamonds are better than them or not.

jbiddle.com Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) yeah i under stand what your saying.. and i dont mean like something you would see at sema or an auto show i just want something that would impress people at a local car show is what i meant. sorry for the miss understanding. and also i have heard focal and im definatly not the person who thinks they sound like kicker. and i also know true sound quality doesnt come out of ported encosures either. i know this. but i am going to be mounting the subs inverted in a custom fiberglass enclosure so you will see the motor structure. and to me the motor structure of the d6 is a piece of art. and when i say sound quality i dont mean a 25 thousand dollar system. i want the best sound quality i can get in a ported enclosure while still getting decently loud. or what you people call SQL Edited July 25, 2012 by jbiddle.com Quote Head Unit -- Alpine CDA-9887 Mids and highs -- 2 Crescendo PWX-8's 4 Crescendo PWX-6's 4 Crescendo FT-1 Super tweeters Mids and Highs amps -- 2 Alpine V12 MRV-F545 Subs -- TBD Sub amp -- Crescendo Bass Cleff BC2000.
