Mega Sql System!!!!

[RudatHo 10+ year member]

this time we aint cutten nothing short. this system is gonna have plenty of headroom and will require ear protection before entering the vehicle. my big question is this. one single 8" in the kicks or 2 6.5's in the doors. this system will be using id cd2 comp mini horns. i'm looking for a front-stage with some serious output, midbass, and a very strong kick-drum.

zapco 500X1 per door(midrange)

zapco ref 200.2(horns)

zapco ref 1100.1(4 id8's ported)

That is considered more of a loud SQ system. SQL systems (really mega ones lol) are considered something doing well over a 150 musical on a lab. Honestly not sure if that is going to be mega loud SQ even ... who knows though

2 x 6.5 will be louder due to the extra surface area if you can fit it. Imaging would be harder though

doesn't seem all that mega to me. But 2 6.5 would be a better choice IMHO

Mega would be a fully active 3-way with horns, mids, and two 8's in each door. Oh hey, that's what Im building. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Id highly recommend going 3-way fully active, if you a truely not cutting corners this time around.

hmmmm... 2 8"s per door? that's crazy as hell. how bout just 2 6"s? hell, if i was gonna do two 8"s i would look into the hybrid legadia's. i think 8's are really pushing it... don't you think?

since i've never gone active before i figured this would be my best choice for sound processing...

do 3way front stage using either the Clarion DRZ headunit or an alpine headunit with the H701. But if u wanna stick to 2way front stage then i'd say get the RF 3sixty.2

mids and 2 8"s per door. i don't get it....

Sounds just like an SQ system to me.

But anytime you have two midbasses per channel, I'd be really worried about keeping a coherent image. You'd have to have midranges that go really low, so you can keep the crossover point as low as possible.

There have been IASCA-winning vehicles that have midbasses located behind the seats, so with a low enough Xover point I could see it working //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yes dual 8's is excessive. But then, I have these, so Im going with excessive:

Most poeple would be more than satisfied with a 'standard' 3-way consisting of a single midbass driver (per side). I haven't quite figured out how I'll fit four 8's in my doors, but I will. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Most of my buddies are already jealous, I'll have more cone area for midbass than most of them have for subbass. muhaha?

i like that piece of Soundstream equipment u have there audio //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

yeah, i remember shipping those svc 4ohm idq8's somewhere out in cali. i nedd them fvckers back!!!!!

lol Thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif My front stage will be powered by that 404s, a 644s, and a Ref Picasso.
edit: all sitting next to my Pyramid DC power supply. lol

i'm looking at 2 midranges in the door. think that zapco 500.1 would be good enough. i'd like y'alls input on the new image dynamic stuff too...
