Btw, way too many tweeters/mids.

 

[Mayhem]

If you're actually going to do that system, don't use decent mids and then use those crap kicker subs.

if you are going pro audio, you 1000% need to go active as in you need a head unit that can set crossovers and slopes properly which means no current kenwood head unit on the market as of now can do it. You can go to their sub family which is JVC and they have active head units or pioneer. IT makes the biggest difference, EQ will not tame your mids and tweeters, only a properly done active tune will.

Without active networks you'll never get the full clean output out of your tweeter, you'll just get nasty peaky unpleasant ear shredding highs and mids that bleed too much into the treble range. Both of these together will make the whole system sound like garbage.

I've certainly seen more than that. Not necessarily something I'd recommend a beginner try and tackle though.

...and 2 subs. Gonna be one hell of a screamin' demon!!

 

[Wellyboy]

If 1 has to use that much speakers, 1 has to question the quality over quantity.
