Enlighten me

So when running 4-5k RMS on my subs, what kinda mids and highs should I be running? Picked up 4 tweets, 50/100 watts. too much? too little? And what about mids?

That's very high (as in loud highs) so have fun with that ... they will keep up, that's for sure. You stage it all correctly, people will actually want more bass from you lol

That's about perfect though IMO

with that much power (assuming your car can make enough electrical power and your subs can convert it to sound) then the mids and highs wont matter as you wont really hear them and if you do go the route you are going, you will be deaf if you do this while you are in your car.

Now concert cars are becoming popular, lots of subs (less power than you), lots of mids and lots of highs all at the proper SPL, they are fun to see and listen to in a parking lot but I fear for the drivers hearing.
