[QUOTE="gstokes, post: 8259984, member: 660947"] Here's the specs on my economy SQ build: Kenwood KDC-X597 CD receiver with BT/Sirius/XM but the high point is the 4V preamp. MB Quart OA1100.5 Class SQ 5-channel, the 4-channel section is Class AB with a touch of Class D to keep the transistors awake and it when they say it rivals most Class AB amps they aren't kidding, the sound is warm and natural like a tube amp. MTX TNA212D Dual 12" 400W RMS 2Ω Sealed & Loaded Enclosure. 2 pair Pioneer TSG-6844's 45W rms max. In 4 ohm mode the Quart lays down 75 x 4 to the Pioneers and the 2 ohm subs get 500W rms but this is primarily SQ so the gains are reduced and the speakers will never see more than they can handle. The rear channel is not hooked up yet but will soon drive another pair of cross-fired tweeters in addition to the front components that will act as imaging system to create soundstage, with just the pioneer door speakers and the Sub and it is off to a good start, Diamond Audio 6.5" mid bass drivers will soon replace the pioneer door speakers and the 12" sealed sub enclosure is going right between the front seats, my goal is to direct the subs to reflect off the windshield or the dash and sound as though they are in front of me instead of below and beside me, reversing polarity on selected drivers in addition to a Kicker Front Row 6-channel DSP (12 ZXDSP1) will make this job much easier and i doubt it will even pale in comparison to high dollar SQ setups but i will be happy with it and that's all that matters.
