Blacmonk1 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 First off iv e been into car audio for 25 years. With that being said. There is no reason to spend $5000 on an as system. As far as front stage goes a simple active 2way will blow u away when properly setup. For this check out the Morel MDT12 tweeter. It is very smooth and natural sounding and 2 of them will cost u around 80 bucks. As far as midrange goes check out a speaker called Silverflute. They are $29 apiece have a wool cone and a huge motor. They look like mini subs. They can be found at madisound.com. As far as amps, Audio control has a 4 channel amp with a built in dsp that does EQ, time alignment, crossovers,speaker level control and input and output RTA, as well as being 125wrms x 4. The most important par t is your processor so u might as well get one built into a high quality amp! As far as head units go a midrange will do u just fine as you will not be using the dsp that is built into most of them. Hope this helps! And also loose the rear fill. Because the goal is to have a "stage" on your dash not surround sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear fill, never. Not for SQ anyway. Maybe for 5.1 (movies) but not music. All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

Wurd... I feel ya. I do just feel, if i have some kinda high zoot sq oriented rig/set up, i would have control (full active) from appetite to asshole. Though I have heard rad comp sets, with their own passive network sound effin sick for sure. Never sat in a rig in my life, where the rear fill, did shit. Maybe through the alignment off is all lol. It's a bit silly also, .. the discipline we run in the lanes, is called PSYCLONE. It consists of 3 separate pillars, and is suppose to try and represent a "full audio system". Not just burp loud, what have you. 1- rta run. Points for FLAT as possible 20-20k, 0-100 points possible. (This is where I ment our boy Brent Leavitt, man he helped us a TON in the early days with our RTA shit,.. such a rad dude). 2- A low and loud, 30 second ave, using their provided tracks. Bonus points for 20hz playing. 3- Install. Proper fusing, at proper lengths, all that jazz. You get dinged accordingly. One of the "required" deals, is some sort of rear fill lol. We have it, and it "plays" so we dont recieve deductions, but, that shit stays the fuck OFF all the damn time lol. Take the 3, combined, and Bob's your uncle. Fun ass division, very challenging, and rewarding. But we always giggled and scratched our heads over the "all vehicles will net -10 points for missing, non functional rear fill" rule ..
