* in your own opinion

For doors I'm biased. I'm currently running Dayton Audio mids (1 8 and 2 6.5s) with eminence highs (2 tweeters and 1 horn). Only in my front doors. Back doors are empty

I need a setup to support 8 18 inch subs though

You could try 4 10s and 4 tweeters per door. I'm sure someone who's done larger builds can chime in as well. Also I think your crossover slopes would help too.

I actually was thinking For 10" mid ranges or 1 12" midbase and 2 8 mid ranges

I like those numbers... Done for Slamfest?

 

[KicktheSDbasshead]

Hopefully but just making sure everything is as good as I can get it

You got time. Hopefully I get to demo this year. Can't wait to hear whoever else on here will be at the show

I'm going with 4 10"s, 4 tweets and 1 8 inch shallow mount for the doors I'm running 2 dsps because I'm also running four extra 8s in the space behind my seats it's basically my rear deck lol but everything will be bandpass with the proper slopes

I'm planning on going with one 10" midbass at the base of each B pillar at the corner of the wall and one 8" midbass and two 6.75" midrange, per door, a 6.75" midrange per kick, two 3" midranges in each corner of the dash, at the base of the A pillar, and two 26mm silk dome tweeters per A pillar... It's a mix of Pride Audio and CDT Audio. With Polk Audio amplifiers, and a Genius Audio DSP.

I already own it all. It will be a total of 5000w on the 4 way active front stage. It's gotta be loud, as well as sound good, to keep up with 160+db of bass ....

Cliche quotes can't be applied to some builds, but where I'm from we say "get em boy"

I word of advise though, DON'T put the speakers "IN" your doors. Build sealed door panels to mount them in, or you will be launching front stage speakers non stop, from the sound wave(pressure) off the subs, getting behind them, inside the doors.
