Going active

[bzinn 1]

Anyone here ran an active system in our car......I fell into a set of 5 1/4" ARC components and I already have a set of 6.5" components and a 4 channel amp....

was gonna run the 6.5s in the front and mount the tweeters to image where they should,but I can either run the 5.25s in the rear space or build pods in the kicks.......

has anyone tried it in our cars........what works.....I hate to use them for rear imaging as I will not benifit really as i have no rear passengers and would rather do kick pods....


My sub to use is still undecided.......I have a nice ID 10" that will work but also access to 2 12" ID subs for cheap and can build my own box and still deciding what subs to do before buying amp.....

I already have a Elemental Designs NINe.4 to run my comps and will either do depending on sub decision the NINe.2 to push 400w or the NINe.1 to push 1200w.....just depends on what I think will work,I like SQ,but also like it loud......so am leaning to the 2 12s and 1200w split between them....it wil make my hear blow when it hits but is painfull.......lol

Any ideas are welcome I know we got some guys on here that could help on this so I am open to whatever.....

Also the car will be in shows,but not sound compititions....but I like to build nice systems,money is not too much a concern but at the same time I got like 4 friends changing systems so I got access to products they used for les than 6 months and never abused and was tuned properly so it is like new......

I do all my own work and want to be in the 130db range with it or higher which I know the single 10 will not get me to.....unless the small car size makes it which I doubt...

MY tC hit 134DB in a compitition and came in second in my class due mainly to imaging issues and some tuning issues......
