[QUOTE="FJF, post: 6291067, member: 601907"] The amp may reach higher than 20K, but that's of little relevance. If the Liberty is as quiet as a tomb, and it probably isn't, there isn't much to be concerned with past ~16K. Sure, there's room ambiance and air, but that isn't going to be much of a factor here. I don't think you understand. Numbers like 90 watts and 100 watts have no practical meaning in this application. Don't worry about it. It's not a concern. Tune the system with your ears and everything will fall into place. OK. You did mention that it was a Liberty earlier and I spaced it. My bad. When you say the tweeters will sit on-axis, will you be building pods for them? As for the subs, let's go through a basic tuning scenario. Say, your system is installed and you're sitting in the car. Everything is set to flat in the HU, the subs are turned-off. You play a familiar track that's recorded at a high level and adjust the gain on the mids. After that, you adjust the gain on the tweeters as the mids are playing at a preferred volume. Notice how the subs are still turned-off. Once you're happy with the speakers, then you turn-on the subs, turn them all the way down, and begin to bring up their volume to blend with the front speakers. So, you see, the power you're giving the subs doesn't have much relevance here. The subs are a secondary factor. [/QUOTE]
