[QUOTE="ladysmanfelpz, post: 8254622, member: 642267"] Title I have an accord coupe and want to wire up my system here and am planning only a front stage and sub stage. I want the bass in the cab and don't really care about people in the back seat, plus its just me and maybe one other person most of the time. The plan is to get a 4 channel amp and have the front 2 channels powering my 5.25 door components and tweets on the dash. I'm looking at 6x9 subs for the rear deck, specifically the CDT HD line but if there are any others that fit into the stock location in the rear deck please let me know. Planning on powering them with 50 watts when their rms is 125. Now would I wire my subs to each their own channel on the other two channels and just set the LPF to 100-120 hz? I'm looking at alpine 4 channels that allow you to independently set HPF/LPF or all pass for both the front and rear channels. Is it fine to not specify they are subs and just low pass them at around 120 so they can play the 30 hz to 120 hz tones even tho they are capable of being a mid driver up to 3000 hz or so? Should 50 watts be sufficient if I'm planning on an extensive sound deadening project without rebuilding the rear deck but only putting MDF rings below the subs? By extensive I mean MLV and the whole business plus I prefer under powering subs for safety and I think 50 watts should be fine as my stock gives quite a bit of boom with just CLD tiles on the rear deck, but I don't want to be handicapping my subs either. Thats just my plan for you experts out there with an opinion on the build, but back to the main question. How songs will throw sound from left to right or vice versa, will subs do this if they are wired separately, or do most (hopefully some keep stereo in bass) songs cut out the stereo effects below a certain frequency since bass tends to fill the whole room anyway?
