[QUOTE="Zxcvtypo, post: 2517490, member: 557597"] Hey guys, I'm trying to do my first 3-way setup, and decided to go DIY with these dayton's as it seems many others have done..With some of the things I'll be selling soon I should be left over with $1000 or so give or take a little. The setup will be in my Jeep Cherokee for now...I was thinking of these as a starting point -- I noticed the tweets and mids were out of stock till like mid Feb but that's fine I'm just starting to figure things out.

If properly setup (I'm planning on putting the midbasses in my stock location in the doors, mids higher in the door and tweets in the a-pillar, thoughts?) will I be impressed by these? 2. Is there a big difference between the 7 and 8" mids? 3. Should I hook the tweets to the front channel, mids to the rear, and midbasses/subs to the sub channel using splitters..then use the 3-way xover on the head unit for the speakers and lpf on the amp for the sub? I have 3 amps right now, the 1200.1 for my mag, 200.2 for my HD-62's, and a 4150XXK that is unused [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif[/IMG] would the mids and tweets be alright running off the 4150, and midbassess off the 200.2 with the gains set very low? I figure if I can use the amps I have right now, the speakers would take up around $300, wires around $50 and that leaves me $650 for a new head unit, I'm lookin at an 880prs or cd7000, both of which would keep me under my budget. Any feedback at all would be appreciated edit -- sell 200.2 and pick up a 2100xxk for the mids to match the 4150? that'd be *** when i switch over to my rsx. [/QUOTE]
