how would that sound i will give the polk comps 6.5 about 120rms a piece and plan on putting kicker ks6.5 coax in the rear and give them around 45rms

will that sound ok mixing the speaker brands or does it matter

Mixing can be just fine, but from a guy who runs polk, why not just put some polk db coax's in the rear. They will blend in better. Polk's are sweet! Kicker tends to have a harsher tweeter than polk. I take it you will be running the momo's up front?

yes i think i have decided to go momo's all around comps in the front and coax's in the back and power the fronts with 120rms a piece and the backs prob around 50rms or so w/e i decide that sounds good to me

and when you say harsh tweets on the kickers does that mean really loud highs that have distortion at high volume

i am looking for a speaker that at high levels have good highs and no distortion to keep up with 2 12's l7 ported

I don't think the answer's going to change every time it's asked...it's probably going to sound pretty hideous.

What you've been asking about for the last five threads you've made.

how would it sound bad having polk momos comps upfront running off 120rms each and polk momo 6.5coaxs in the rear running around 50-75rms each

and 2 12's l7 ported to 32-33hz with each sub getting about 2.5cu ft

What kind of setups do you have as a reference for what "good" sound is?

 

[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

wow ok go somewhere, all you do is just shoot me down on any system i come up with i tell u what i got 1300 dollars want loud subs ported or sealed with a amp to give them their rms, box dimensions i have to work with is 26x25x17

and i want good midbass comps with loud no distortion highs and a amp to power them properly

and i want a dvd/mp3/cd player 2din

find me all that for 1300 what you think would sound the best and be loud

$1300 might be a little too low if you're talking about a 2DIN DVD player in the budget. Those aren't cheap, even used...but without that in the mix...

Mach5 MLI-65 midbasses...not the greatest midrange out there, but it'll get you started until you can upgrade to Seas CA18RNX's or Peerless Exclusives or something. Under $30 for the pair, IIRC.

Seas, Vifa, Dayton all make very good affordable tweets, just depends on how much mounting room you have. Let's say $50 for a pair of tweets.

A used 4-channel amp can be found on Ebay or the forums for $200ish or less. I'd look for stuff like a PG M44 or similar...older, but if the previous owner took care of it it'll blow away newer crap that sells for more.

OK, so that puts us at under $300 for the front stage...minus sound deadening. Add $120 for that, just to start.

Little under $900 for the rest of the system...decent subs like Dayton References, Exodus Audio's drivers or Shiva-X's can be found for $150 each. Suitable amps can be found used for $200, again, vintage or older is going to be your friend here.

The DVD player is going to be what you'll have to work the budget around, while it's easy to build something for under $1300 without one, you'll have to find a hell of a deal if you want everything under $1300. I'd say going to two grand is much more reasonable.

ok and whats the rms on all the tweets, speakers and subs and amps

and dont want something to upgrade to want something i can run a while and how loud wil that be

ok and whats the rms on all the tweets, speakers and subs and amps

Who cares?

Power ratings are some of the most useless, over-hyped specs out there. The only important thing is that you understand how the head unit, amplifiers and speakers all work together, so things don't explode or melt...

and dont want something to upgrade to want something i can run a while

Then either increase your budget or drop your expectations, heavily.

and how loud wil that be

Who knows?
