[QUOTE="musical_high, post: 7577535, member: 638284"] I appreciate the advice. Got some amp info from another thread, learned what damping was [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] and now I believe I've honed my as of yet hypothetical setup. My funds wont be available for another month, but after that I plan on ordering everything. I've decided to bump my limit to 2k ish. Here goes: CDE-133BT Alpine deck at 160ish including bluetooth capability. There's nothing about alpine that I particularly like other than, like JL, its a safe bet for what people claim it does. JL Audio ZR800-CW x 2 (with enclosure) for 140 per. Covers Midbass. Focal Performance sub P30 db at 4 ohms= 250. JL class D monoblock with 500 rms (at 4 ohms) to power sub. Alpine PDX F4 (2 of these, provides 8 channels) = 640 QS216 - MB Quart 6.5" 2-Way Q-Series Component Speakers= 300 Alpine SPR-60C as rear speakers= 150 MiniDSP to edit active crossovers and eq on my computer. x2 = 240. Total=2200ish. I would run the entire front with active setup and let the rear alpines run passive while using active controls on the JL bidbass and sub. I do not know what best is, but I have heard JL and they seem to be a strong contender for that sort of setup. I have heard very cheap mbquarts and liked them. I realize that will not necessarily extrapolate to more expensive mbquarts but the reviews are solid and so I would hope that would be the case. As time permits I would hassle with enclosures and dynamat. Realistically I need something very plug and play because I don't have time for complete car dissassembly for a proper dynomat treatment. I am not looking to hemorrhage money so that I can rationalize "well it cost a lot so it must be decent". I want eargasm. What would you guys do different? Would you spend less, more? What questions would you ask about why I chose particular components(maybe you have a more optimized approach). Do you think that these components would mesh well? Thank you for your opinions and information. [/QUOTE]
