power ratio?
 
ive got 900 watts rms total going to two 12's, so 450 a piece. i wanna know if theres a power ratio to determine how powerful of speakers i should get to upgrade my mids and highs. i dont want to spend money on speakers only to have them be drowned out by bass. thanks. ive searched the forums and i came up nil

I like to shoot for 2 or 3 times the power on the sub as the front end.

Mine's currently, 80 watts to each tweeter, 200 watts to each mid, 100 watts to each rear fill co-axial, and 1000 watts to the single 12" sub...so about 2x the power to the sub compared to the front components...sounds awesome!

so what if you have 5k in sub amp power? you'd get front speakers that are 1500 rms?

sounds like a job for the TF6.5's

^^sure, 4 morel mids at 150 watts each, and 4 tweets at 100 watts, and a couple of 9" midbass woofers at 200 watts each...1400 watts rms

Planned:
100x2 tweeters
100x2 mids
360x2 midbass
7000x1 subs

Should be an alright balance for me. But I'm a bass junkie.
But I do like it all to sound good to.
