Multi amp set up?

[<v=rus> 10+ year member]

I am relatively new to the world of car audio but i want a powerful show quality system. I was thinking of running two 15 inch subs, four 10 inch subs and eight speakers. The wattage for the 15s is 800RMS and for the 10s 400RMS. I am planning to run four amps from two batteries off of one alternator. My question is this: can this system work and remain steady for a daily driven car? My budget allows all harnesses and crossovers, equalizers etc.

Any input would really help

Why is it newbs always want to go the biggest possible //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Mixing Speaker Sizes FTL

If you have the money for two 15s and four 10s, just get 2 Digital Designs 9515s or something.

You should be alright with a supposed 3600 watts pushing them

YEAH RIGHT. don't mix sizes.....

why not mix sizes? I've seen a ton of cars rocking different sizes. Is it for sound quality or...

would this set up require two batteries?

Personally, I would stick with one size for your low end. You could use a 7 or 8" mid bass for the front, but thats my .02.

As far as batteries, it all depends on how big your system ends up being power wise.

depending on the current pull of your amps, we wont know if you will need two batteries or not. i personally would never mix sub sizes.
