stepping up to a big boy system ... got a few questions and need some opinions

[Fatman489 10+ year member]

How's everyone doing ? I've been into audio for quite awhile but due to budget restrictions I've never really had a system I was truely happy with ( most of it being second hand rockford , jl , mtx, so name brand but not fantabulous equipment ) with that being said I now make plenty of money and really wanna put a system together I absolutely adore lol .. I have the rough outline and some of the stuff picked out and have started purchasing some of it first I will give you the run down on what I'm thinking .

HU: undecided but I want a double din that can control an ipod

Mid amp : I'm thinking 2 jl audio hd600/4s 1 for front stage and 1 for rear .. intending on ditching component crossovers and using the amps built in crossovers

Subs : audioque HDC4 18" X2 ... 12 cube box tuned around 35hz

Sub amp : audioque 3500.1D .. gonna start with one and maybe move to 2 later if one doesn't fit my taste

Now I am at a loss on what components I should run and what kinda electrical I'm going to need especially in the taste of extra batterys ... I'd rather have a lil much than not enough lol ... Id like to run 2 set of 6.5 components but need them to be able to take power without having an overly bright tweeter ... I like more of a natural mellow sound ... As for the electrical I do plan on atleast one mechman alternator but need recommendations on batterys .. both is brand and quantity lol

Thanks in advance for the help guys and gals

What do you wanna spend on all this?

 

[mylows10 5,000+ posts]

look at the cdt es or hd model components and hit me up for a price

 

[Fatman489 10+ year member]

I have budgeted around 500-750 per set of components ...electrical upgrades the budget is open .. I'm not made of money but do work my *** to get so I'm not against spending it .. I have no bills and make roughly 4-6k a month ... I spent almost 600 on wiring for the setup the other day .. so just realistic equipment .. not gonna spend 5k on a set of focal 3ways .. but don't mind spending a good bit lol

Check out the Morel three ways.....

Edit> little more then what u said but are very nice....

Don't mind spending a little more but don't really want to mess with a three way setup .. would prefer to stay with a two way with a simple mid and tweeter ... Three ways just have left a bad taste in my mouth after helping a friend get his three way set sounding right lol

Your opinion didn't go unheard .. I am looking into them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I kinda like the specs on the cdt es-62i set ... Looks like they would fit the bill quite well ... Just wish there was somewhere around here I could hear them myself lol ... Just worried about which tweeter option and whether or not the tweeter are going to be overly bright
