I use a pair of Orion MB6s in each door for midbass....Xover set from 80 to 400hz running off an Orion 2150SX @ 300 per door.....they mesh well with the JL XR comps on another 2150SX.....

There are some poopyheads who think 450w per door is too much......what do they know?....

FWIW, I never bothered trying to build enclosures for the 6's.....lotsa Dynamat on the doors seems to have sealed them well enough to get the midbass hitting well. It's a huge difference from just a 2 way component set up front.

i will be using 2x 300.1 RF puch for each door. and a 200.2 for the comp set. i just have to figure out how to make my midbass only run 50- 250/300ish

midbass will be in bottom of the door. and mid and tweet on far end of dash. and my dash is far lol check out a caravan when you have a chance you will see that i have a good distance to work with.:P

i was originally thinking of putting the mids and tweet in the kick but i have a dam foot break in the way of it. lol



i dont think that 750watts total rms power in front will kill me. i will love it for sure and sometimes enough power is never enough anyways
ohh and i WILL have lots and lots of dynamat in the doors. i will be putting dynaplate for the first layer and then dynamat extreme for a second. and it will be as sealed as it can be since i have power everything in the door. it will be hard to seal up where the rods for PW and door handle rods are ohh and lock rod

If your deck has 3 sets of outputs it's quite easy.....use the front outs for the comps in the dash, split the rear outs and HP them where you want the bottom end of your midbass to start. Feed that into the amp and use the LP filter on the amp to cap the top end of the pass band. The other half of the rear outs goes to the rear like usual.

My wife drives a 2000 Grand Caravan.....I put a set of Focal comps up front in that.....panels to hold the 6.5" in the doors and tweets attached to the 'A' pillars.....the windshields are freakin' huge tho, almost as bad as the Pontiac Transports.......

ya lol its big. my only issue is that.. yes my deck has 3 outs. but the front and rear runs on the same HPF. its set to 50hz. what i was thinking is to split my fronts and feed it to all 3 amps. the comp i can set the HPF on the amp up to 250hz and i could set the 2 others on LPF set to 250hz and my HPF on the deck would cut off anything lower.


does this sound right ?? lol

It will work, but I wouldn't recommend dividing the output voltage from one set of RCAs over 3 amps. Use all 3 of them and you will be able to leave the amp gains set much lower, which usually means less noise in the system. You might not be able to hear amp hum through your subs but you will in your comps if the gain is too high. It also gives you more control from the deck, which I like since I like to tweak things now and then......

ill do that then i guess i wont have a fader anymore lol. cause with no rear passengers i shut the rears off completely. hum ill shut off the amp on the deck if i dont want the rears lol.

BTW my deck is the clarion DRZ-575USB 6 volts preout. later on will go up to the eclipse.


OR should i just run the fronts to the 2002 and then from the out on the amp send the right and left to the to each amp??? like the left to the 3001 and the right to the second 3001??

You can do it that way......Hopefully the RF will pass thru the same voltage level to the pre-outs that were received at the inputs.....

If rear sound is an issue, do the split on the rear outs from the deck, one set goes to the 300.1's and the other pair goes to the amp driving the rear speakers. If you want to be able to kill the rears when nobody is back there to listen, splice a switch into the remote line for that amp and mount it up front where you can get at it.

the rears are powered by the deck. i am no longer investing in power for rears lol. killing the amp for the rears that i was saying means telling the deck to turn off the internal amp completely.

but while doing that i will be able to use all 3 preouts. Front for the components and rear for the midbass. then the sub out for the sub... this will work for me. lol

There ya go.....I have my van set up that way....it makes it much easier to fiddle with the levels while your in the driver's seat.....which can be a bad thing if you like to fiddle too much.....

lol it is a bad thing and i am like that hahahhaha AND my amps are gonna be right in front too hahahaah

allways wanted to know this... the front and rear outs are all the same stereo sound right???
