Nobody has answered since having 10 speakers playing stereo is dumb.

To do it right you will need 10 channels of amplification. A processor that can handle 10 channels plus the sub.

So a 12 channel DSP and I think there is only 1 or 2 on the market. Mosconi and Audison. Both are in the $1500 range. Then the amplifiers. Which will run into the $1200 range.

A better way would have been only fronts. Since music is only recorded in Left and right, not rear.

I would just do a 4 channel

Two back sets in parallel

Just set the gain so the rear doesn't overpower the front

That will be hard since the rears will get more power and have more area.

I assume he's just looking for a little bit clearer and louder

I don't think he's going to try and win any sq events

Going only front with separate channels for mid and tweet would get a good sound though and could be an option

You could also power rear speakers with the h/u for some rear fill

Before I suggest something, where do you plan to fit the amplifiers?

Maybe. Or maybe he's like 99% of the people and just doesn't know what's possible with a simple nice setup that's planned right.

for front 6.5 comps and rear 6.5 coax, what would you say falls into this category? something along those Hi-Vis i asked about the other day? and something like a pc-450 to run them (maybe not even that big)

Not even the coax. Raw drivers and a active capable 4 channel. They are pretty common these days. A good front stage will fill your car and the car behind you.

Sure. Madisounds has a better selection. Just have to pick wise. Not all will like IB

 

[camar0rs]

the car comes equipped with 10 speakers so i was going for clearer and louder only, not trying to do any comp stuff

amps will be mounted in flat hatch area, havent decided on building/buying a setup yet

I was already assuming doing a 4 channel with rear sets in parallel....

I spoke with JBL and they are recommending this amp : JBL GTR-104

thoughts?
