[QUOTE="MythosDreamLab, post: 8764822, member: 681800"] That's an awesome vehicle, I just checked it out on the MB site, an t one thing I would say is DO NOT use cheap components in it! I have a Honda Passport with is slightly bigger than yours, and I invested in a top notch system and I SUPER enjoy it every time I'm in it. So my recommendations are based on my system. For your fronts, unless you are ok CUTTING door panels or spending $2500+ to modify your A-Pillars, I would stay with a 2-way (ACTIVE) set up! For the rears I would also go with a 2-way (Passive) set up. For your Subs, I did a custom Fiberglass enclose in ONE of my Cubbies and mounted a single 8" sub in it and it is plenty enough bass for me. If you are concerned with your overall cost, I'd say do ONE custom fiberglass enclosure with a 10" sub and then do the second if you still want more bass. I see you have some experience with Audison, and that's a good thing: MAIN AMP: DSP Amp Audison AP F8.9: 85w x 8 Channels SUB AMP: Audison AP F1D : (500w @ 4ohms / 800w @ 2ohms) FRONT TWEETERS: Audison Thesis Violino II 1.5: These are amazing tweeters, I'm running them in my rear C-Pillars. FRONT WOOFERS: Audison Thesis Sax 6.5: Top of the line components that go down to 40hz REAR SPEAKERS: Hertz MLK1650.3: Hertz is owned by Audison and these are their top-of-the-line 2-way set and will complement the front speakers. SUB WOOFER: Audison APS 10D: need to make sure of your cab size, if this speaker needs more room, I'd look for a smaller volume JL. 1) Here's the set up: run the Audison Amp input from your OEM system and use the Frequency Equalization tool to restore the full frequency. 2) Run your font tweeters Active, 3) Bridge 2 amp channels together for each of the front woofers (send them 260w each) also run active, 4) Run you rear speakers Passive, using the Crossover, 5) Output the ".9" channel of the AP F8.9 amp to the input of the AP F1D. 6) Run one or two Subs from this Amp (either 500w or 800w) - Also have Fiberglass enclosure made. 7) Conduct DSP Tune 8) Enjoy...
