OP what is your substage, how loud is it?

AQ PA mids/tweets can get very loud. My son runs 2 6.5's/1 tweeter per door. Single 18 that does a 51+ and he keeps up no problem. PPI900.4 for mids and small 2ch for tweeters...

well what do you recommend?I was looking at the 6.5 sound qubed and the super tweeter..you think those in the front would be good?

I love my sq pa stuff i run 4 of the 6.5s one in each front door and 2 in the rear with a pair of sq supertweets on a ppi bk800.4 and it more than keeps up with my 2 hdc4 12s on aq3500.1

im thinking about running 2 in each door up front and 1 tweeter...and leave the rear alone..think I would be alright..i was going to get the bx800.4 also

That would work fine and be plenty loud ...play with the crossovers and get the sound u want ...they can sound really good if crossed over correct ...most ppl who dog pa is bc they heard a poorly crossed setup..i have the tweets crossed at 3.5k and the mids at 100..make sure u deaden the doors real well or they will sound hollow empty and lack midbass..and that ppi bk 800.4 is awesome .no complaints

They would. But you need more power. At 600 rms should be good. With at least 2-3 Mids in each door and 2 tweets in each door

Implying that 400W won't cut it for him but 600W will be fine? Is this part of your sales pitch or you do really imply that 1.3dB is going to be dramatic?

No sales pitch quit being a jerk to while your at it I just don't see 400 watts keeping up with a pair of 15s on 2500 rms 600 will be better. But it may not do it either he needs more cone area for the most part .no one trying to sell anything here. So either be constructive or just don't say anything. Sorry op

Just look at your own post history, at least 85% of your posts are a sales pitch, another 10% is on threads like this where OP is bound to ask "any suggestions?" then the sales pitch, and about 5% is useful. Glad you support the site by paying to be a vendor, but spamming every single thread like this is getting old.

And to clarify, my point is that a 50% increase in power is less than 1.5dB which is just slightly over what is the threshhold of being noticeably louder. I'd go as far as to say if 400W isn't "keeping up" jumping up to 800W won't be any magic either especially if he is pushing things into compression and taxing his electrical system. You need to do some acutal critical listening and see what 1 or 1.5dB difference really sounds like if you honestly think you're being helpful telling OP that a larger amp will help him.

The best and most cost effective way to add noticable output from that power level would be adding more cone area, looking into more efficient speakers or even horns, or focusing on some better locations for the components.

I believe I did say that If you actually would read. Instead of trolling everywhere you post
