3 Sets of Comps in Double Cab Truck

[ohthexcitement 10+ year member]

I have 2 new sets of PG 6.5's, a set of EDI 6500's (basically CDT HD62's), and 3 Cadence SQA-4 amps (roughly 150*2 bridged @ 12v). I'm thinking of dash-mounting the EDI's in sealed enclosures (dash is hollow) to get more upper-end clarity/punch (the EDI's get a little 'muddy'), and balance-out the grunt from the rear. 90% of the time, this is a passenger vehicle. I'm looking for all-around impressive SQ with the components that I have. I've yet to make the enclosures, or the location of anything final. Things can be put anywhere, or aimed in any direction. Suggestions?

Is there a better place for this?

You'll be better off without the CDTs at all. You said yourself that they get muddy, why would you want that in your system?

I just meant that, free-air, same input, the mids aren't as clean as the PG's. I would imagine that [properly] sealing them could only help in that aspect.

Might help, but I still wouldn't do it. Without some serious processing, getting multiple sets of components sounding good is pretty close to impossible with similar sets. Start mixing sets and "pretty much" becomes "completely."

Duly noted. Thank you.

I just pulled the trigger on goods for an active bi-amp configuration, so there will be detailed tuning.

Side note: "Life's tough...it's even tougher when you're stupid." Love it lol...

How about just running a set of tweeters on the dash for imagining, off of the HU, instead of a full 3rd set of comps? I'm just worried about the low placement of the comps on the doors (truck), and don't want to put too much space between the mids and highs.
