Planning to install a bunch of components to system and would appreciate any advice/comments:
First of all I will list what I have installed already:
Sony Explod HU CDX-GT510
MB Quart Tweeters in Dash
Pioneer 6.5's in front
Pioneer 6x9s in rear
Now what I want to install: (98 Accord V6 EX)
5 Gauge wiring kit
Phoenix Gold XS 2200 2 channel amp:
SDAT 12" 500 max watts dual 4 ohm subwoofer in vented custom box
Soundstream Rubicon 404 4 channel amp w/ Hawkins Bass Control and many crossover dials
Coustic XM-3 3 Way Electronic Crossover
Questions:
1. My MB Quart tweeters are in my dash and I don't want to move them if I don't have to...so what would be the best way to hook these up?
I do not have a passive crossover for between my mids and tweeters only bass blockers...is this a bad way to go? Would wiring to the tweeters require the dash to be removed...difficult?
2. Should I utilize both of these amps?
3. Should the Coustic crossover be used? for both amps, 1 amp (PG XS2200), or not at all
4. As my sub is dual coil at 4ohm and the Phoenix Gold 2 channel amp is 2 ohm stable, can I wire this to the sub to make it 2ohms?
Thanks for any help/suggestions
