frankly, i agree with jeremy. you are gonna have a lot of phasing issues with that many speakers.

You'll have to use a hell of a lot of math to make sure you're even in the ball park getting all that set up right. Do you realize what happens to an audio signal when you apply a crossover to it? 6db, 12db, 18db, 24db? Or when you mount one speaker on a different axis than another, for example, kick panel vs. door mounted speakers? And having so many speakers with different xover points, slopes and axises. It might be loud, but that's probably going to be about it. Good luck.

What the hell is up with all these new guys coming in asking a question, and then getting all defensive and worked up over everything. Neal relax all he said ( Jeremy C) Was to read teh FAQ because that normaly would have answered a question like this. You didn't have to reply like that. And arguing with an admin is well.. just plain stupid.. Not off to a very good start i see.
Oh and on a side note this no platnium thing is pissin me off, i needa get some mula and sign back up i miss my avatar :( lol

Have a good one guys

Don't worry guys. He sent me a very childish PM calling me various names, so we won't have to deal with him anymore.

Ok after reading this thread, lack of useful replies and extremely douch bag bitching Im going to give a solid answer.

Sorry Ive been very busy working, spending time with my kid and working on a car at home- hence the delay.

Bottom line:

Pitch the "line drivers" its just one more thing thats unecessary and another potential source of a problem. Your amps are highly capable and DO NOT NEED 9 VOLTS! Actualy your amps tech sheet will EXPRESSLY tells you up to 3V input...

Ok so here we go!!!!

Sub channels from the HU split into amps- Self explanitory. Covers the 2 D3600.1

D3400.4 probably is running both sets of your componets. The D3400.2 will probably be on the coaxs. If ALL of these speakers are in the front you just want to Y off all of them. Have all on the drivers side one side, all on passenger the other side. If you try tossing the "rear" RCAs into the mix you will have NOTHING but problems! Furthermore Y'ing of RCAs wont result in a loss of signal OR voltage.

This is the ONLY feasible way of doing this!
