Opinions On New System

Aright fellas i just finished replacing the cylinder head to my car, Took 6 days( 6 Sundays lol ) i guess its alright though since im just 15 and this was my first tine working under the hood. Now its time to start the really business of putting my system together. I want opinions if you guys think this system will kick ass. (FINGERS CROSSED) BEEN SAVING UP A LONG, LONG, LONG time lol.

HU:Pioneer Avh-p7500dvd
Front stage: Re Components
Subs: Two 15 SE's 10cuft ported
Enclosure: Gonna go with a custom fiberglased ported enclosure, in the back of a wagon.
Rear Stage( FIBER GLASSED): 4 hifonics 6.5 component speakers, the ones that light up (these are just for show, and usually wont be on)
Battery: Optima Yellow top 75/25
Big three wiring
2 headrest monitors.
175 amp alternator swap.
Hifonics bd1800x mono
(2X) hifonics 4400x Amps
Tow rear 7.5 inch monitors fiberglass enclosure.
Wiring 0 Gauge to distributor, and then 2-4 gauge to the amps.

Does this sound good. Any flaws? Suggestions?

Re: Opinions On New System

Re: Opinions On New System

I'd give the RE components 150rms per side, and seal the 15 SE's. Then you be even, ALSO components in the rear are a NO NO! I personally (along with many people) DON'T use rear fill, if anything use ONE set of coaxials powered off you HU. peace

Re: Opinions On New System

to have a balanced system?

at least some ported 8's in door pods, if you don't want to build door pods then maybe an active setup with re xxx or adire extremis mids and maybe lpg tweets

Re: Opinions On New System

ok wait getting confused, but i think the best way to go will be just upgrading to the xxx components. Could i still port the subs if i do this?

xxx components won't be out for quite a while

the mids are available, but in order to use them you're going to need to go active (2 separate amps on the front stage, one on the mids and one on the tweets). Same goes for the adire extremis.

yes that's how you would do it, and if the amp's crossovers can't go up to ~2-4khz then you would need an active crossover

lpg tweets are nice from what I hear
