[QUOTE="darkside, post: 2516267, member: 573015"] Hi everyone, As you can see I'm new here, but not to car audio. It does seem that some things have changed since I did my last big install though. Anyway, I recently got an 87 Grand National and am planning an install for it. Here are some of the specifics and components I have. I don't want to alter the car in any way as it would affect the value of the vehicle. I am looking for SQ with the ability to get fairly loud. I currently have: Crossfire eh-2 horns a plethora of MB Quart 6.5, 5.25,4, and tweets with xovers 4 original Image Dynamics IDQ 12 SVC 4 ohm 2 Zapco z300s2vx - 150 x 2 600x1 at 4 ohm 1 Zapco Z150c2vx - 75 x 2 600x 1 at 2ohm 2 ppi eq31, 2 xtant (morel) 4" coax, rockford punch 30 Kenwood KDC-x789 headunit, coustic xm-6 I was going to run the horns with the z150 at 37.5 watts each. Either 6.5 or 5.25 MBQ in fiberglass kicks off a Z300. Xtants in fiberglass baffles for rear fill off the RF, and finally the 4 ID subs off the other Z300. All active crossovers. I see that capacitors have fallen out of favor and will investigate this site further as to why. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I also see that most installs nowadays feature rear facing subs. Any difference. I was planning on facing them forward for impact as well as SQ. Any objections? I had never heard of the BIG 3 wiring until I found this site and I plan to try it. If anyone can offer any input or ideas i'd appreciate it. I only want to do one install in this car, 20 like my last car. Thanks in advance, Darkside [/QUOTE]
