Need some opinions on my install

[marksrobert77 10+ year member]

First off, thanks for any suggestions.

I have a 2009 dodge 1500 crew cab. I've been trying to decide what the hell I want to for my highs and it's driving me insane. I will be building sealed fiberglass pods for all four doors, they will be place where the 6x9 slot is on the bottom corner of the door panel.

I can fit two 5 1/4 with tweets or one 6 1/2 with tweet and crossover per door. They will be powered off a kx850.4. By no means am I sq guy, but I want them to sound clean and get fairly loud. I will have an MX15 in a 6 cube single reflex bp for my sub set up.

My don't want to spend more than $700

I'm looking at:

2 sets of Kicker QS652

2 set of Alpine Spx 17pros

2 sets of XXXs

2 sets of JBL MKIIs

4 sets of PPI 355cs

CDT, Focal....i mean whatever. Heck, i've even considered getting mids and tweets from parts express....I'm lost lol. I know everyone has there own taste when it comes to highs/mids. I just would like some advice to what would sound decent and handle the power I have.

thanks,

Robert Marks

Out of your listed choices, my top picks would be the XXX's or PPI's.

You have a ton of power to work with though, all of those setups will get loud enough.

Are you running at 12.5 or 14.4 V? 4 "sets" of PPI 356cs? As in 8 woofers and 8 tweeters? I imagine that was a typo... I'm trying to picture where you would put 8 of those monster crossovers...

JBL or the XXX's are good. XXX"s make sure you have plenty of power to throw at them or you'll be greatly disappointed.

I will have over 800 watts for my highs. The ppi are the 5.25s, if I ran them I was going to hide the crossovers. thanks guys!

if u weren't using a kicker amp I'd say rockford power series comps, but with that amp in mind ppi or jbl

I'm also looking into the new hertz HSK165

What do y'all think about running pro audio speakers? What is the many benefit from purchasing an expensive car audio componet set? lol...I just need to buy some shit and quit thinking

again thanks,
