[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2775345, member: 555320"] No, you will [B]not[/B] hear a difference in sound quality due to the lower impedance. Assuming you are referring to having to wire both front and rear left speakers in parallel to one channel and both front and rear right speakers in parallel to the other channel....you will, however, lose your ability to fade and all of the speakers will receive equal amounts of power (assuming they are all the same impedance). Depending on your sound preferences, this may impact the overall sound quality of the system. What speakers are you using that are 8ohm? 4" mid[I]bass[/I]....or mid[I]range[/I]? Being 4", I'm presuming you mean mid[I]range[/I] and using the 6.5" drivers for mid[I]bass[/I]. In which case yes aiming and pathlengths are "important" for the 4" driver. How important they are in your install again depends on what you are trying to achieve. The closer to sonic perfection you want to be, the more important they are. Also, is all of this a prepackaged 3-way passive component set? If not, how do you intend on setting all of this up as far as crossovers/amplifier channels are concerned? Lastly, your plan of using kickpanels for the midrange and tweeters and placing the midbass in the door is a pretty good plan. Midbass is sensitive to time arrival differences...so with placing the 6.5" drivers in doors it would be beneficial if you had/used time alignment. But as was mentioned above, if you want to use QLogics for the midrange (4" drivers) you will want to reinforce them. QLogics are hit and miss as far as aiming is concerned, IMO. Some are aimed decently....some not-so-decently.....plus aiming will be dependent on the speakers you are using aswell. So if you have the ability/desire to build your own kickpanels, that might be a better option. I would try them in the kicks with the tweeters first, personally. But tweeters are so easy to relocate it really is just a matter of grabbing some velcro and trying them out in different locations and seeing which you think sounds best. [/QUOTE]
