[QUOTE="alphakenny1, post: 2517570, member: 561605"] i'd also recommend getting an hu that has at least a 3 way xover. the 8445 does not have that. getting an hu w/ at least a 3 way xover would be the cheaper option and then use a combo of the hu and amps to cross everything. those daytons dome midranges can play pretty high so i'm looking at the specs right now on the arc amp and it looks like you can lowpass the midranges at the highest at 5.5khz which is around the range of the midranges so that might turn out to be ok. not too many amps can lowpass at 5.5khz. you probably would need to put y splitters on the midbass and midrange as both need to be bandpassed. but positioning those speakers might cause a problem with t/a as both will be in different locations. the optimal solution would be to get the h701 combo or p9 combo as you will have full control of each individual speaker. i'd also recommend putting the midranges in kicks as deep as possible down there. this will shorten the path length difference and will give you a nice deep soundstage. as far as between 7" and 8", can you fit the 8? if not and you can't do door pods then just get the 7" daytons. many people are very satisfied with the rs180s.
