I have all of this equipment in hand already so I will be using the Helix DSP  thanks for the pointer on the tweeter , will keep that in mind when tuning 

I will start this system build soon and want to know exactly what I'm doing before I start..  It will be my first time setting up an Active System and I need to know exactly how everything should wired.  Headunit:  PIONEER AVH-X7800BT 7" Front Stage:   Hertz HSK 165XL 6.5" Component Speakers...

i'll try to find someone local to build a box if it will be close in price with labor & materials.. i found this box made by the same company. 3 cf tuned @ 35 hz 3 CU. FT. CUSTOM-VENTED 12" MDF CAR AUDIO SUB WOOFER BOX ENCLOSURE TUNED @ 35Hz | eBay

This is the box I plan to purchase on eBay: 12-Inch CUSTOM-PORTED MDF CAR STEREO SUB WOOFER ENCLOSURE 2 CU. FT. TUNED @ 32Hz | eBay Im leaning towards a GCON sub instead.. Ideally want an enclosure thats 2.8 cu.ft tuned @ 30 hz , if I can find a box builder local that can build a similar...

my total budget for the amps to power the XL's is around $500

Yes, this is the enclosure: http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/ported-single-12-subwoofer-enclosure.html its pricey but looks nice. i found another that also looks good for $130 ..will probably go with that instead use the extra money towards better amps .

This is my build... Stinger Roadkill Pioneer AVH-X7800BT 7" H/U Hertz Hi-Energy HSK 165XL SSA ICON 12" 1250w Subwoofer Twisted Sounds TS1.3KW 1300w Mono Amp Khaotik Enclosures Ported Single 12" Sub Enclosure Helix DSP 8 ch. I want to go full active using the Helix DSP and need 2 amps to...

thats awesome that they can take 300w rms each .. weird that they're rated at only 150w but ill throw more power at them since they can handle it.. i want to get this system right the first time around because i plan on keeping it for a while, so if an active crossover will make a difference...

i ordered a set of HSK 165XL speakers today front the front doors .. no speakers for the rear doors so i only need a 2ch amp. i can run the 4ch amp bridged but twisted sounds amp puts out 280w x 2 which will be too much for 165xl's ? theyre rated at 150w rms but ive heard they can handle alot...

I'm spending $700 total on the 2 alpine amps ..the alpine amps have some features that I like but if I wouldn't mind saving $300 for the same quality amps .. i need recommendations though because i really wouldn't know where to look ...i was looking at taramps and crescendo amps but theyre not...

point taken lol . okay so i'll go with a pair of Hertz HSK 165 in the front doors and icon 12 in a ported box. Alpine PDX-M12 1200w rms mono amp and ALPINE MRV-F300 amp (150w x 2)

thanks for the advice on the rears ..i do want a more "full" sound ..im thinking to put a pair of Beyma Pro6mi 6.5" midbass speakers in the rear doors .. also, to power the sub im thinking about a Hifonics ELITE ZEX1350.1D ...its way cheaper than the alpine pdx I wanted to get and seems to be...

im going with an ICON 12 .. the rear doors have some crappy coaxial speakers that were installed by the previous owner and I want to scrap the whole system. wouldn't i be better off with at least a pair of decent 6.5" midrange woofers in the rear doors vs. no speakers at all? i had a 1600w...

okay on that note, looks like the PA amps have to go. not sure of the exact gauge of the wiring currently in place but its thick & there is a capacitor installed revised build: ICON 12 1250w Sub in ported box 2 sets of Hertz HSK 165 6.5" Component Speakers (125w rms) Alpine PDX-F6...

Okay I'm going with a single ZCON 12 in a ported box..and 2 pairs of Hertz HSK 165 speakers to go with it . pioneer H/U and stinger roadkill for sound deadening. right now I already have 2 PA amps installed in the car , BAMF5500/1D and BAMF1600/4D .. are these amps really that bad that I...
