Jeremy,

An Audison amp to each side of the K3P's, and the sub amp/sub

using the Focal crossovers due to getting over budget

I was more talking about a mid/high set up in the front with a single sub in the back. You can run more speakers, like OnYrMrk has his set up, but you can't be fully active thru the headunit like mine is. Both ways are really nice, but once you start adding speakers it does get more complicated.

Hay OnYrMrk, how are you planning on running your setup?

The second set of tweeters is a good idea if you need it. I would wait and see how it sounds, and then add them if you feel the sound stage is to low.

One more thing. I don't know how much experiance you have with that deck, so I thought this might help.

I still need to go thru and add some more stuff, like using the pink noise sweep to set the x over, and x over slopes, but I haven't had time. So if you have any questions feel free to ask.

i would check into some DLS sub(s) for SQ cause they are really nice and also very light weight. and maybe a fiberglass box if you want to save some pounds.

eventually you will have to do it right, so now is as good a time as any.

Yes, excellent input.

Unfortunately, you're making me realize that this project, like so many, started out so simple yet is becoming quite involved.

May as well do it right.

I think on the whole you have the makings of a nice sq machine. Kicker is the only thing holding you back. the diamond hex are fantastic speakers, Headunit is amazing (I have one too), Amp is more than adequate. Kicker pre-mades were designed to go loud, but not exactly cleanly. I would even venture to think if you took out that sub, had a professional design a box that is true to specs, your output would probably be closer to the quality you desire. It is just that the premade boxes are designed to get loud, not to really be clean. Hope this helps

Just realized I posted this in the wrong forum (duh).

Thanks for responses, though.

Bwcad1 - can't find too many negative comments on the Kicker L5s. They're still NIB though, maybe you can elaborate.

it is small it is light and it does put out bass but doesnt soung good and is very unreliable u know what i mean? not trying to bash your stuff at all just letting you know.

Kicker TS10L5 (sealed, prebuilt enclosure) + KX250.1 amp for 288.

Relatively small and light, and seemed to put out some pretty clean bass, but one never knows until it's in the vehicle.

yes they are that bad how much did you pay im sure i can or one of the other dealers can get something much better for that price. where are you from?
