[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8585211, member: 665412"] there's a lot thats going to go into this and thats why some people arent jumping in to help, try to formulate some specific questions about where you're lost and maybe we can start there i can tell you at first that you're going to need much more battery capacity if you intend to run things as long as you say without any significant charging current. how much is hard to saw without knowing what your current draw is my first recommendations would be to keep the bass duty minimal (or efficient) as that will be a lot of your current draw if you have any serious power for subs, and to look at an amp like the ppi900.4 which will give you 4 channels and plenty of power to power mids at a relatively cheap price from there PA (pro audio) mids and silk dome tweeters will get you some good output, but dont expert sound concert quality, just output. supertweeters will be even louder but much much harsher. ive heard good things about the prv pa mids: [URL="https://www.amazon.com/PRV-Audio-6MB200-Midbass-Speaker/dp/B008Z16IZM"]https://www.amazon.com/PRV-Audio-6MB200-Midbass-Speaker/dp/B008Z16IZM[/URL] if you're building a custom location for these midwoofers i would highly recommend you go with an 8 or 10 inch midrange as it will give you a lot more kick in the midrange than a 6.5 (which we usually use because door mounting locations are small) a rough estimate of where to start would be 2 midrange amps (ppi 900.4's), one bass amp, and possibly one smaller amp for the tweeters. from there you need to decide how to provide it a source of music, a headunit, aux to RCA adapter split out to the amps, bluetooth, etc and then decide how badly you want bass because that entails an enclosure and dedicated subwoofers another consideration is tuning and setting gains, if you have never done it before id recommend getting a mini oscope for around ~60-70 bucks for setting your amps at a 0 db tone in hopes of avoiding some jackass blowing your speakers by screaming into the mic or cranking the volume knob [/QUOTE]
