I went ahead and installed an amp that will deliver 175RMS x 4 max into a 2ohm reactive load..

My origional plan of dvc 10's,a 6.5 mid, and a 2" super tweet isn't going to work.. (10" won't fit)..

So I still need to come up with some combination of speakers that will image well and get extremly loud at the same time...

I can use 4ohm 8s, 3way 6x9s, 5.25, 6.5mid bass, 4",4x6,5.25", or 6.5" coaxials, 1" dome tweeters
& 2" bullet tweets...

simply using the 6x9s on the amp bridged is an easy answer.. But I'm not sure they will get loud enough for me, and woulndn't be surprised if I ended up toasting them with that much juice....

I have approximatly .5cube per door to work with...

Im using CDT EF61CFi for my front stage and the x-over supports a main tweet and imaging tweet.... with the right amount of power this set can give you ear damage lol.

Id recommend going with something like that, add an imaging tweet for proper staging, the mid in the kicks along with the main tweet.. imaging tweet in the a-pillar.. and add 8" midbass or something in the door. Then what you do for your substage is up to you.

A little pricy but would sound awesome and get very very very loud.

OK... Iam thinking of using 3way 6x9s for midbass and disconneting the tweeters which I will use on the other 2 channels along with 6.5" midrange....

But instead of just a midrange, I could use a set of components....

Anyone know how to set up a main tweeter with a imaging tweeter ? Iam sure the main tweeter is just crossed over a little lower... ?

Hmm... 2 pair of 6.5s as midbass plus a highpassed 6x9 for midrange/highs could also work well....

Iam suddenly leaning towards this...

You want all this to go into the doors only?

I'd try the two pairs of 6.5's and get a good set of tweets.

What's the car Haunz? I forget if you already said.

95 grand am... yea, all the in the front doors...

Having multiple midbass wouldnt be a problem.. but multiple midrange or highs playing the same frequencies will screw the imaging up...

Iam still trying to decide what to do!

Well, will the 8's do for midbass, one pair 6.5's for midrange, and the tweets?

I wouldn't try to fit the 6x9's into the equation.

OK going for 2 pair 6.5 midbass and 1 pair 3way 6x9s for midrange/highs...

But Iam worried about response from 5khz up being loud enough, which is going to be handled soly by 1" + .75" dome tweeters.....

Any thoughts on that ?
