thank you !! i have been working on my car audio for this car WAY TO MUCH !!! this is setup number 7 on my car and the last one !!! since i dont have another car to work on the only practice i get is on mine ... thankfully girlfriend is letting me put the old subwoofers in her car so i will be making her a nice custom box

[CapriProject]

Some times having a girlfriend who is happy about her 'custom box' can be a true treasure to share. Wish you luck !!

And having a friend who is willing to share the girlfriend with the custom box, is also a treasure!


Someone was gonna say it, I figured it might as well be me!    :cool:

[Rocketman]

I wake up to something funny every now and then, but then I kick it out...

[Heavensheros]

hahaha thats funny matt !! lol

[bobbynahas]

that was a good laugh. keep em cumin

ok so i finally have the final build setup in my head for the mid/high part of the sound ... in each door i will have 3 6.5 component speakers and in the rear i will either have 2x tweeters or 2x 6x9

[Gostlrs]

3 speakers in each door?

[bobbynahas]

Joshua, Thats a lil overkill on the doors. thats a lot of fiberglass or a lot of wood, either of which will be pretty heavy on these doors. If you went with a expensive series of 6 or 6 1/2 components with a quality amp you would be happy. PPI makes a great 4 channel, so doses jl Audio. Ive ran these amps for over 20 years. They were great when i was a kid and have only had improvements since. Boston or MB Quarts make real nice components. My girl has a caddy srx with a 12 inch w0 a jl mono 250, all mbQuarts and a PPI 5 channel. Its a lil overkill but sound unbeleiveable. If you need any insight on that im around the corner

[Heavensheros]

well i already have one component set in the stock doors and the other 2 will be fiber glassed in the door and will not be that heavy. all the speakers are 50watts each and will all be ran on a 400 watt 4channel amp.

I had a set of 7in separates and good set of 6x9s in the rear in a box running off a 2ch amp @ 2ohms with 300 Watts RMS....Plenty for what you need....

Don't waste the money on 4 channel amps. You only need them if you want to have fader control. Look for what a amp puts out at 2Ohms RMS and match that to your speakers.

i already have the 4 channel amp. it was a rockford p400-4 its msrp is 350 and i got it new with 2 year warranty for 150

[Gostlrs]

Here is the P400-4 ratings (4 Channel)
50 Watts x 4 @ 4-Ohms
100 Watts x 4 @ 2-Ohms
200 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms Bridged

Here is the P400-2 ratings(2 Channel)
100 Watts x 2 @ 4-Ohms
200 Watts x 2 @ 2-Ohms
400 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohms Bridged

Both have the same MSRP. Now if you bought the 2 channel amp and ran it bridged at 2OHMS you would get 100 more watts for the same price. The reason why I say 4 channel amps are a waist. To get the same power output you need to spend more
