This the area for designing groundpounders?

If I were to get one it would probably be the 4.1 since I wouldn't need the sub out and I'd rather use the decks sub out.  I've never seen the epicenter or any audiocontrol product in person.  How does the epicenter get its input if it needs a full range signal?... no way to use the sub out for it?

be careful with using that 4.1 on just your highs and mids and not sub. you'll have to run everything off the 4.1 (fronts, rear and subs). the 4.1 has a master control volume, whereas you'd have to cut your H/U up 3/4 of the way and adjust the gains(left and right) on the 4.1 and then use the master volume on the 4.1 from there.  so to say, just using it for highs and mids and running your subs off of your h/u wont cut it. as for the epicenter, i had one before i got my 3.1 one and i used my sub rca output from my H/U and that was great.

To give yall an update I think I've decided to use the double din alpine W200 ran to that H701 processor (combo is around 1k before shipping i think) with some elemental design amps (love the look) All I gotta do is save now off work till the 2nd so I'm gonna try to hit up the alpine dealer in the city to check out the w200 before i ebay it hehe.

Welcome aboard.

I would recommend an Epic-160 as an option. Which of the choices will unlitmately fit ur setup BEST is ur call oviously based on what parts you go with but I have an Epic and I love it. Esp. if you wanna tune for "max output" on a mic w/ out having to use a laptop/TermLab mic as cost a bit more than an epic and it will find youre peak or sweet spot just the same, just w/ out all the fancy bells and whistles and freq info yadda yadda.

BTls would be great choice as they are proven in the trenches. I'm well aware that Audioque has some aswome subs too (2-10's doing around 150 from the trunk of a neon is pretty impressive) but I don't know for sure if they can take abuse as well as a BTL.

RF power series amps, no brainer GONZO power, and the electrical you mentioned sounds sufficient as long as you stick to one BIG sub amp and dont double up. If so you might need a lil more reinforcement.

Great plans so far i'd say.
