[QUOTE="sjgv, post: 8322594, member: 663381"] First of all, I'd like to introduce myself, new to the forum. Started reading here since 2 days ago, this is the first time I'll install a system in a car and I'm very excited! (I have read the 101's and looked into builds and other threads that have answered many questions but I'd like to get specifics on what I have in mind now) So I'm thinking of installing 2 HDS300 12" subwoofers by SoundQubed which I can't actually find all the specs on their site but I assume is a DVC 4 Ohm driver (correct me here if I'm wrong plz) RMS 1200W peak @ 2400W [URL="https://www.soundqubed.com/HDS300_c_34.html"]https://www.soundqubed.com/HDS300_c_34.html[/URL] And the pair of mids and twitters for the front doors QP-MR6.5 RMS 100W peak @ 200W QP-TH25 "SuperTweeter" RMS 50W peak @ 150W [URL="https://www.soundqubed.com/Pro-Audio-_c_22.html"]https://www.soundqubed.com/Pro-Audio-_c_22.html[/URL] The original idea in my head is to use a 4 channel amp to power it all.
