[QUOTE="cam2Xrunner, post: 1342780, member: 561044"] Well for 350 I can guarentee you a better set of speakers, but you will have to go active. You can get the Seas CA18RNX 7" Mids for about110-115 shipped for the two, and then LPG tweeters for about 90-100 shipped. So for a little over 200 bucks, you'll have a setup that will kill the Chameleon. If you want to spend more, I'd look into the Seas Excel W18 Nextel drivers. The LPG's will work well with those too. Should be about 400 shipped and will be VERY hard to beat for any money. Running active basically means that you are going to seperate the frequencies before amplifying the signal. Instead of doing it afterwards with a passive filter. IN your case, you would use the 860MP's built in 3 way electronic crossover. The front RCA's will e for the HPF for the tweeters, about 1.5khz to 4khz depending on your speakers. The rear RCA's will be for the mids. The rears will have a bandpass. There will be a HPF setting of 60-80hz and a LPF setting of 1.5=3khz depending on your speaker. Then the 3rd RCA will go to the sub amp. This is self explanitory. To power a 2 way setup(mids and tweeters) you will need 4 channels of amplification. You can use a 4 channel amp, you can use two 2 channel amps or you can use a 5 channel amp and power your subs with the sub channel. Depends on what you want to do as far as mounting amps. In that enclosure that I showed you above, you can mount one amp on the front, and one guy has even mounted one on the other side. Under the drivers seat there is room for an amp. Not a whole lot, but there is room. I fit my Xetec 4G600MK2 under there very easily. The specs are 11" by 11" by 3". You can use a longer amp by about 3 more inches. I would try to send at least 150 watts rms to the mids if you're going to go active and DIY And at least 70 watts rms or so for the tweeters. [/QUOTE]
