Ya...I'm going to bridge it down to 2 with a DVC 4 ohm....I can't imagine what kind of inline fuse I'd need if I bridged down to 1 ohm, add the fact I don't want to upgrade the charging system or battery. Big 3 upgrade I can handle.

Do amps lose quality when you bridge down?

Edit: Running 2 ga wire from sonic to the dist block, then 4 ga to the amps.

Added some more equipment

JL 500/1 amp (used)
Image Dynamics IDQ V3 12" Sub (new, gonna try my hand at fiberglass, wish me luck)
Massive Audio CK6 components for rear fill

Just need a 2 or 4 channel amp to complete the deal. Got my eyes on a JL 300/2.

Where abouts are you? Close to Calgary at all for me to come have a look see? If so I can give you loads of help if you need it. (and the wife does not find out that I am doing it and I find the free time).

Frank Drebin

Na, Edmonton area.

JL 360.2 deal fell through...gonna try and snag a lightly used NX2.

I hear ya on the wife/spare time thing...I hear ya. 5 years ago I did what I wanted, when I wanted.

Now...not so much. It's all good though. Thanks for the offer but I'm a one man wolf pack.

Frank, have you heard the CK6s? Weren't you looking at an HD1600.4 earlier?

Frank Drebin

I have the HD1600.4 for my XR Duo in the front doors/dash. (XR3M/XR6M)
I was throwing around the idea of a center channel; I would need a 4 channel amp to drive the 3 dash speakers and the 1600 would drive the XR6M's in the front and the rear fill.

I have since scrapped the center channel idea.

I wanted something cheap for amplified rear fill in the back doors, I haven't heard the CK6's but I have heard that the tweets are harsher, while the mids kick A$$. I believe I can attenuate the tweets with either caps or the MS8. I just want to make sure my rear can keep up with my front.

Going with the CC idea would have cost me close to $600 - without I'm right around $275.

Mr.DatSubishi

There is a -3, 0bd, and +3db attenuation option on the passive Xover for the CK6s. I'm sure the ms-8 will do it as well, and with more control. The CK6 tweets are definitely sharp, but I quite like them.
