some of my new sexy toys came in the other day

[eclipsepb25 0]

my monoblock for my btl

my 4 channel for my frontstage

my ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL orion HCCA millenium edition 2 ohm 6.5" midwoofers. i spent a small fortune on these, the gonzos, and the crossovers; but very much worth it.

my robot underground gonzo 2" aluminum tweeters

my a/d/s A6is cross over networks (with 2 ohm lowpass mod)

my RE-69FR 6x9 speakers in some nice boxes

Still waiting on my sub box as well but every one please go check out Josh Salrin at www.finecustomworks.com, he makes the nicest and highest quality boxes you could imagine, shoot him an email and he will hook you up with any box you want, you choose every last detail and customization possible to do. and his computer program will tell you the all of the tuning details and F's and Q's and all that lovely junk before he even puts it together.

Doing a diy front stage you really, really should run them active in particular if you don't buy cheap drivers. It will greatly improve what you have.

the only problem is i have 6 drivers and a four channel amp but it is something i will look into in the near feature. and also, when i got home from work my RE's were sitting on the door step. ill put up some pics in a few mins

I am interested in seeing what you think of those gonzo aluminum tweets I have used the same set in my truck and they seem harsh but it could just be me. z

allrighty kids, added pics of the RE's too. very nice and cleanly built drivers. have a good weight to them as well.

and i have heard the gonzos before and i think they sound amazing. i guess its just all personal preference

I take it the RE's are going to be rearfill? No need to put them on an amp if so.

yeah, what would you recommend i do then? since i had no plan for the HU amp, could i bridge the 4 channels into two channels and then use the 4 channel amp to run the tweeters and the speakers active? or im not too educated on anything besides subs. so can someone please just give me some advice? thanks -wes

Can't bridge the amp in the HU, not designed to take that.

The way I run my set up is active front stage off a 4 channel, and a cheapo 2 channel to power the rear coax's, but I run that amp off a toggle as it's rarely on. Only when I'm in the mood for cranking it up.

If you plan on running the rear fill all the time then HU power might be enough and help to not overpower the front stage.

i really think its too late though to go active, because my 4 channel would be WAYYYY TOO MUCH just to power the front 6.5's and then the tweeters.

lol, yeah i know but they were actually the nicest 6x9 boxes i could find, they're built well and like the black carpet with the embroidery. im sure they will hold up and sound better then those other 5 minute glue-together boxes that some chinese guy is selling on ebay for 10 bucks
