[QUOTE="tooshort_128, post: 8591639, member: 576847"] I just got a new truck and with all the functions integrated into the factory HU, I'm definitely keeping it. That leads me to having to get a DSP since I want a nice sounding setup. For this reason, I may as well go ahead and go the active route. This will be a new thing for me, picking raw drivers and such but I'm willing to learn. So far, I'm looking at the following: Stock HU NVX JAD800.4 for mids/highs NVX JAD1200.1 for subs Helix DSP or similar 2 Sundown 8's or 10's tuned around 35Hz (space limitations - underseat box) My question now, is what mids and tweets to get. I hear good things about the Dayton RS180's but they are 7" so I'd have to modify the 6x9 to 6.5" adapters. Not sure what tweets to get, but the Dayton ND25FA tweets are definitely in my price range lol. Not sure if the RS180s will play up to 2500hz, where the tweets would come on. Any other combo suggestions are welcomed as long as they are in the $150 range Lastly, I occasionally have rear seat passengers so I'd like something in the rear doors. I'm thinking just some low powered coax's or just mids so I don't have highs coming from behind. Should I run the rear fill off the HU or could I run the tweets off channels 1/2 and then bridge 3/4 for the 4 door speakers? The amp does 2/3/4 channels so does this work or make sense? [/QUOTE]
