Amp/speaker combo

Post by marc »

Trying to get my system up and running.
I plan on using as mch of this equipment as possible, but am struggling with the optimal matches. The one in bold is what I plan on using. But I still have an unused Zapco amp I would like to use. Ideally, I would like to use the 3 zapcos, The JL, and the Memphis, but I cant seem to get the speakers matched to them. Any ideas?
Thanks Marc
Any ideas?

Is it just me... or is that just an awful lot of 6x9"s in that car...
I can't help but ask if those were typo's on your part, because if not the vehicle will definately not be geared toward sq (odd shaped speakers are not known for premium sound quality)... And did I catch the amount right... 4 of each?

Holy 6x9 hell!

When you start getting that much area, with that many speakers you need to concentrate on your imaging as well as speaker placement. Otherwise you may wind up with something that sounds awful and full of cancellation and distraction.

Generally, the KISS approach is the best. And your setup is far from KISS. You'd have better results with a single 2-way up front and a single sub for low end and call it a day. The chance that you're going to have similar results with 10 6x9s and 3 sets of components is about the chance of an ice cube lasting in hell.
