[QUOTE="WheresTheButta, post: 5979155, member: 559748"] I decided to go with a set of Earthquake "screamer" tweeters. For my application/budget they are a better fit. Also, I couldn't pass up the great price that thelow had for them. I purchased an ARC audio amp to power them - [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/p6856/FD-2200--ARC-Audio-2-Channel-370-Watt-Amplifier.htm"]http://www.woofersetc.com/p6856/FD-2200--ARC-Audio-2-Channel-370-Watt-Amplifier.htm[/URL] great deal on a nice amp. I also purchased the set of morel supreme mids. I'm going to power them with my JL 300/2. To flipx99 who suggested the scan mids: they wouldn't fit in my doors. I'm not chopping my doors under any circumstances. For the install, I purchased stinger pro series interconnects and kukonceptz karma speaker wire. I have some distro blocks coming in the mail as well. 4ga in 8ga out to split my power and ground connection between my two front stage amps. The 8ga wires will travel less than 12", so I'm not worried about them. Any suggestions on material to make the plates for the woofers? I've seen some buzz about cedar, is that a proper material for door plates? Also, how does it compare with a thin (maybe 1/2" or 1/4") MDF plate? One other question about DIY plates - what tool should I use to cut the hole? My jigsaw is old, shoddy, and inaccurate. I don't own a router; should I look for a drill bit that can cut a hole large enough for these woofers? [/QUOTE]
