[QUOTE="budahbuddy803, post: 8534478, member: 566041"] I suggest doing some reading up on SQ builds. Most use horn tweeters (not necessary) for a wider high frequency response, 6-8" mids dedicated to the midbass you are trying to get with you 10" sub and 5-6" mids for the, well, mid range, and then a sub for the lower frequencies. Active crossovers (rather than passive) allow you to set each individual speaker frequencies response so you can dictate the high and low cutoff points. Imaging properly can easily be done with 1 mid and 1 tweet per side, no reason for a rear stage due to imaging. For Sq, your main objective, IMO, is proper staging (sound comes from directly in front of you), proper imaging (sound hits the sweet spot (your ears)) at the same time, little to no whine or interference from your wiring/installation, "flat" response curve for all audible frequencies. I don't like a flat response curve. Again, all this can be accomplished with a "standard" 2 or 3-way active setup. If you want it to be loud also, well, get equipment that can handle more power and supply the proper clean power. I think having all the "additional" equipment you are talking about will actually hurt your imaging, time alignment, and freq response curve. I suggest reading up on cancellation as well as other sq oriented articles. Installation is more important than equipment. If you get the staging, sound deadening, wiring, clean power, and time alignment down, and tuning, you can run very cheap equipment and less equipment and sound better and possibly louder than people with an abundant amount of speakers.
