[dscolt676]

Im thinking bout getting 2 memphis M3's, 3 pairs of the Memphis 15-MSQ6 component speakers, the pr4.50 for my component speakers, a 1 fared cap, and Memphis 16-XO3 crossover.....something i wanna know is what memphis amp should i get for my sub because i was looking at the memphis pr1.1000 but i dont know if that is enough power for the M3's or not... do you all think this will sound good...Im puting it n a ported box in a nissan sentra..and do u think i should get a bigger alternaor or an extra battery.

shouldn't need a bigger alt or extra battery. don't even need a cap. 3 sets of components will be overbearing IMO, just stick to 2 pair or even 1 pair and a pair of coaxials.

Man 3 pairs of comps IMO is way too much for a normal install situation. I'm hoping/thinking you meant 2 pairs of the comps only b/c 3 sets of comps on a 4 channel amp would be a fun configuration lol. Either way, if you're only going to put 50 watts a side you might as well just get coaxials IMO as that won't do justice for what you're wanting. Just my thought and IMO if you want to keep sub amp with Memphis i'd say pr1000.1 is plenty of juice for the pair of 12"s.

alright if i go with 2 pair of components where should i put the co axial cuz i was goin 2 put a component is each door and a pair in the back...should i just put a pair of components in the front door and the rear deck and put the co-axial in the back 2 doors?

Your car has 3 locations for speakers? I haven't taken the time to look up stock locations of a Sentra but personally i would do 1 pair of components in the front (left door and right door with tweets wherever they need to be mounted) and coaxials in the rear doors. If you don't have stock rear door speakers and only have rear deck speakers personally, i wouldn't buy 2 sets of speakers as the rear deck speakers will be almost inaudible due to the subs.

no my car doesnt have 3 locations im gettin them custom installed...but why would it b a bad idea 2 have 3 set of component speakers?

It's just not needed and overkill in 99% of installs. Honestly, when I had an active 2-way setup in the front of my Jimmy nobody in the back seat complained that I didn't have loud enough speakers or clear enough speakers....then again it was more designed for SPL but the highs were clear. Again this is just me but if I was doing what you're doing, get 1 set of comps for up front and a set of coaxials for the rear doors and call it a day. No need to waste $ or time on a 2nd or 3rd set of comps when in the front you won't hear them.
