Thanks for the help. The audio guy at the shop did mention there was a trade off at the bass/low frequencies when running the rears out of phase but said "you will actually be able to literally hear the stage rise as I tune the amp". Unfortunately, he claims I should run the rears off the amp...

Another question...the 6.5 IDs have a recommended RMS of 150watts. My original plan was to bridge my amp but if the rears need power now I can only feed 75 watts to a channel. I know underpowering the IDs wont damage them unless I get into clipping territory, but would the SQ suffer by being...

If I'm going to mount the tweeter on top of the midbass cone anyway in my system, does it getting a component make a difference? Isnt a coaxial with a directional tweeter the same thing (assuming all else being equal)? I was going to get an Image Dynamics CXS64 6.5" but my custom shop is...

Do you happen to know if he is running a 1 ohm load or 2? I could not figure out this four subs/one amp set up. The 1000 watt memphis amps are for 1ohm loads. You need 2 ohm woofers if you want to wire up 4 subs on a single amp on a 1 ohm load. Memphis does not make any 2 ohm woofers outside...

As I understand it yes Rear door speakers. In my case they are actually not in the door but on the rear deck/shelf. A lot of people on this forum seem to not like the rear speakers. I've had 5.25s and struggled to fill my old Deville with sound. The rear seats sounded a little hallow. 95% of...

I love SQ in mid/high range but there are times when I just want to move the ground with the bass. The Mclass subs are supposed to be Memphis's best SQ subs and I didnt think their SQ would suffer by using 4 of them so I can pump up the bass when I feel like it. I thought the 4 Mclasses...

Hey all, looking for help on how to set up my system and right now I have two primary options for my Cadillac Fleetwood. I already own the Pioneer Headunit and Memphis Belle Amp so those two are constants. I'm open to changing everything else and my budget is approximately $1000 for Subs and...

So I guess the general question is...given the same diameter woofer, and given enough space to hook up multiple subs, would it be better SPL or SQ-wise to use say four 250 watt woofers or a single 1000 watt woofer? Increased cone area > than punch power?

Everything will be in the trunk of a 94 Cadillac Fleetwood. This car was the largest sedan in production in the 90s. The trunk space would be a bit bigger than the lincoln town cars that are used as cabs these days. The only non electronic equipment that would share space in there would be...

Newbie question here. I currently have a Memphis Hybrid Amp that outputs 1000 watts at 1 ohm. If i want to keep this amp and not use any additional amp, what configuration of subwoofers would give me the best SQ. Which would give me the deepest/loudest bass? The car I want to put this system...

I'm redoing my sound system in my 94 Cadillac Fleetwood. I listen to mostly Rap and R&B. Currently, the only piece in my current system I think I am keeping is a 1300 watt Memphis Belle Hybrid Amp. It outputs 75x4 and 1000x1. The whole car is lined with brownbread and dynamat extreme. I...
