[QUOTE="buggsson, post: 5319469, member: 595354"] So, gradually, and very slowly it appears that my system is finally taking shape, sort of anyway. For now, it leans towards an Alpine iDA-X300 for a HU, and the Audison Bit One as processor. To these I need to add speakers, a pair of 6.5" midbasses and a pair of tweeters. I listen to many genres, but today it's mostly metall, prog, and hard rock with something lighter now and then to vary the musical diet a bit. For example solo piano, and jazz, like Miles Davis, just so you know what the speakers are meant to be able play. I've found that the following speaker kits fall within my preferences (without filters then I'm going active): DLS Ultimate Iridium 6.2 DLS Ultimate Nobelium 6.2 Ground-Zero Uranium GZUC 165X (a Joker in the pack, kit lacks data heavily) Hertz MLK165 Morel Elate 6 Radical Audio RA16RF Seas Lotus Reference RS165F Tec SQ6K I have a VW Passat Variant. I will have to put them in the doors, low in the front of the doors. Was thinking of doing a plywood baffle to put them in, and then fiberglass as hell to stiffen the door panel up a bit, and providing the sealed chamber. Now I guess, quite a few of you might ask what kind of amp I'm gonna run, and what my budget is? My budget is skrewed anyway, due to the HU and processor that got more expensive than anticipated. As I intend to get a sub and sub-amp later, what can I say? I am planning on skimping a bit on the amp side, just to make it more affordable, not buing junk though. If I don't go for the Audison LRx 5.1K, that will power it all. I guess, if I go for two amps, each will have to cost no more than 600 USD, but then it must include shipping (to sweden, and a 30% tax hike). Amp choice will, in all due course have to wait a bit, until descision is made for the front system, and that for a reason. The systems listed above all have very different power demands. Especially the Hertz MLK165, I've heard the most extreme amounts of power that some throws at them. The more power required, the more money required. Therefore, amp will be influenced by speaker choice. Front system will be run at 4 ohm, no more, no less. I've looked at 4-, 5-, and 6-channel amps. I've not been able to find a decent 4-channel amp that deliver more than 4 x 150W RMS at 4 ohm, that I can afford. Thats why I've looked at 6-channel amps, bridge two channel pairs for the pair of 6.5" and the remaining pair for the tweeters. What more can I say? So, any input on the above would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
