Help Sort Out Front Stage

[lyons238]

For my sub I'm working with a Sundown SCV-2000d on a 12" fi Q, ported.

For my front stage I'm looking at grabbing a Sundown SAX-100.4 and 2x Image Dynamics CTX65CS components, then a 10" Sundown Neo Pro 4ohm. Two of the SAX channels will be used for each component speakers, then the last two channels will be bridged to power the 10" Neo Pro for some mid bass.

If i bridge two channels from the SAX, would I need a 4ohm Neo Pro to remain at 200w rms @ 4ohms on the Neo Pro?

OR should I just get 2x 8" Neo Pro's and run 100w RMS to each so I can retain the stereo image back there.

what vehicle? define "back there". where would you put a pair of 8's? you can get pretty good midbass from front speakers if you treat the doors properly. then you could run the fronts active and dial in the best crossover points.

good midbass is fine and dandy but a pair of 8s in a deadened door or enclosure will give excellent midbass and deep vocals. stick with a pair of 8s. Make sure you deaden as KHA recommended.

what if I actually just stuck some 6.5" Neo Pro V2's off only 100w each in the doors, instead of 2x 8's back there, meaning in the rear deck. wouldnt having 2x 8 neo pros in the rear deck kind of ruin sound quality? im thinking it might be smarter to just run 2x neo pro 6.5" v2's off 100w each in the rear doors and my components up front, that will give me some good sound and some added mid bass from the neo pro's.

let me know what you guys think! thanks

Well if it was me, i'd go with a 3 way active with 6.5s or 8s in the doors as dedicated midbass, 6.5 midrange in the kick panel and tweeters either in the doors close to the mids, or sail panels or a pillars and have nothing in the back. Less stuff to deaden too. Just need to focus on those front doors.

i just dont have the time or space to create a nice kick for the door. i wonder how much it would cost to get that done for me.
