[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8796853, member: 614752"] I owned V12 amps when they first came out and wasn't impressed. There are some nice options these days for amps with built in DSP which would simplify install a fair bit and cost-wise they'd probably come out around the same as outboard DSP and comparable quality power so I see no reason to not shop out those first provided you don't have some compelling reason to separate. I have only ever once heard a car with tweeters up on the dash loading off the windshield that I thought sounded good so I'd suggest try to mount the tweets anywhere else or at least have a plan B if you can't make them sound good. I'd also recommend against wasting money on the rears. That also almost never helps in having a good soundstage and typically your money will be better spent in improving the location of your fronts or buying into a higher quality component for those. Have reasonable expectations about under-the-seat subwoofers, or pretty much anything you can stuff into a small space. Should be able to keep up with your fronts but don't expect to beating down the block if you can't figure out how to come up with closer to 4 cubic feet gross for a box. [/QUOTE]
