All AQ system need some advice

[lekwid8620 10+ year member]

Putting together an all AQ system in a 07 Avalanche, this will be a daily system. What I have currently so far is 2 hdc4 15's, aq3500d.1, and an aq 120.4. I'm keeping this AQ so please no this is better or you should get that etc.

I'm gonna run the AQ mids, 1 in each door off the aq 120.4. I also wanna run 2 of the aq super tweeters up front. My head unit will be a Pioneer AVH-P8400BH. I've always ran components or coax speakers. How would I go about hooking this up? I've never done just mids and supertweeters. The tweeters are 50 rms each. Excuse my noobness, help a brother out. With what I have, what do I do? If I need something else what may it be? My goal is loud and clear.

So you are asking how to run two mids and super-tweeters on the AQ120.4? I run two AQ 3500.1D on six Mojo's and have used AQ subs and mids before.

You have you run active to run the PA mids and the super tweets. The PA mids are 8ohm and the supers are 4ohm. Just get 2 of the AQ comp sets man, 4 mids and tweets

Hmm i'll look into it. The thing is does anyone know how the midbass is on the aq comp set. I wanted the mid and tweeter setup for the better midbass. This is a daily driver and i would still like some decent bass for when the subs are turned off when i'm driving to work 7 am in the morning lol.

on another note say I still want the mids and super tweets. Where do I go about running active? I'm sold on the mids and super tweeter. I have the aq 120.4 already. What else would I need?

it's a PA midrange, not a midbass. Installed mids/tweets in my son's car a few weeks ago. They sound very good and get plenty loud.

HPF off your HU and FMOD's for the LPF, that will be the bandpass for your mids. Tweets have a cap for a HPF, so run those channels of the amp on FULL.

And you won't need anywhere near 50watts to the tweeters, they get very loud off little power.
