[QUOTE="spracer03, post: 5541782, member: 604641"] so im new to this whole advanced car audio thing and am almost done gathering what i need for my install, before i ask my question let me share what i already have... Alpine CDA-9886 H/U Alpine SPR-17C 6.5 2ways (rear) Alpine SPR-17S Comps. Alpine MRP-M500 now my questions... for my mids/highs ive been reading and ppl have been saying the 17S comps need more than 100rms to reach full potential, now what im thinking is... does anyone here have experience with the F600 (4x100 rated)?? is it maybe a little underrated and will make the 120rms im looking for? and then ill be able to suppy my rears about 90rms??? OR... would i be better off with 2 F300's (150x2 bridged)?? Now for the lows.... at first i got this m500 cause i was gonna use a couple 12w0's and feed them 300 \rms @4ohm total (rated 125 each)... but im getting sucked into this aarrrrgggghhhh black hole and am now considering 2 12" R's ported on a M1000... if i would go for the R's what would be the best box configuration for an integra? (cu.ft.? port tuning?) i tried looking at the box plans but most are lil red x's for me... and i know everyone here gives their R's 7-800rms but will 500 each be "good enough" for a car audio noob?? Lastly what is the main audible difference between between the 12w0's in a sealed JL box and the R's ported? remember i new to this and sorry if i ask a dumb question but im just trying to make my first audio build decent and do it right the first time:toast: any help/criticism/comments will be positively taken... thanks [/QUOTE]
