Drown out mids and highs?

But I’ll have 4 4 ohm loads that need to be ran on 2 channels since it’s being bridged on the 4 channel amp. U can only bridge 4 4 ohm loads to 8ohmX2 and 2ohmX2
if you want rears soo much then here's these and you'll want to pair them with this taramps. Use your rockfords for tweets.

 
you can do some 8 ohm super tweeters front and rear and bridge your rockford if you want things to get extra stupid loud. You'll definitely want an active network capable head unit though to smooth and blend the mid and tweets together.

So I don’t need an active crossover? I can get away with the right hu instead? What about a kenwood excelon kdc-x998 is it active network capable? It has an x’over for the front, rear and subwoofer. What all do I have to do? I’m confused.

your kenwood is not active capable. It lacks a bandpass crossover for your mid, it only has a high pass filter for the mid, active requires a high pass AND a low pass filter for the mid.
When you have active network mode it will be low, mid and high. It splits the frequency range so the sub, mid and tweets each do their own jobs There is no more rear or fronts. Just left and right stereo.

Can I wire all 4 mid bass drives to the rear 2 channels so all mid bass drivers are on the rear and then wire the 2 tweeters on the 2 front channels so the tweeters are front? Will this make it all possible for my hu?
 
And u said run my Rockford amp on my tweeters. My tweeters can only handle 120 rms a piece. Can I still bridge it at 4 ohms running 150 rms to each tweeter or should I leave it on one channel apiece for 50 rms a tweeter?

you always want more power to your mids than your tweets if you want anything decent sounding. you can use your amp like that but the mids will be severely underpowered. Those mids love power and if its like that you'll want 4 ohm mids, not 8. Your choice but i hate the sound of underpowered mids when driven high personally.

80 prs is active capable and almost any other modern head unit nowadays. you dont need to have external crossovers.

What i said is if you have 8 ohm tweeters two in front and two in back, they'd be bridged to your rockford and power is split between them.

The would be setup the same, 8 ohm mids two in front, two in back, bridged off that taramps ds1200. You'll never have to worry about mids and highs loudness again.

if this is going over budget, you can substitute the speakers with these to reduce cost and the pioneer 8704 amp. Instead of an 80 prs you can add a dayton dsp which is 150 only.
 
You're not going to drown out a single 15 on 2kw unless you use stock speakers on stock power. You could get by with a single 6.5 pro audio speaker per door with silk dome tweeters on 150w per mid and 30w per tweeter but a better balance would entail 2 6.5's per side with 2 silk dome tweeters. Ask me how I know, I had a single 15 on 5kw for a year or two. Even going to two 15's on double the power it was well balanced with two 6.5's per side with two silk dome tweeters. The sub stage isn't quiet, it's doing 154s.


**** supertweeters. I despise those headache machines

Taramps ds1200x4 for the doors (with the gain turned down, obviously), 50w x 4 cheap class ab for the tweeters, and the dayton dsp is all you need. The rest is wiring and tuning.

idk something deep in my gut tells me he's gonna do a wall in the future and he's gonna want a whole door full of mids and tweets. That taramps 1200.4 will become his tweet amps and two md 3ks will be his mid amps. LOL

Before rise I will see 4500+ rms and after rise about 2800 or 2900 rms. But on another note, I’m getting 6 6.5 sundown midrange and keeping the 2 1” super tweeters and gonna change my Rockford amp to a sundown 100.4. That’s gonna sound good. I might only get 4 6.5s I just wanted to get 6 so with 8 4 ohm drivers on a 4 channel amp will be 2 ohms a channel if I wire them parallel. Should I get 6 or stick with 4?
