Hey, the more i read everywhere the more i get confused. I am starting a new build in a 2016 Ford flex SE. I have never installed anything in a ford have always had Chevy. Last 2 cars were 2012 Camaro and 2012 Cruze both had a LOC and subs only. 2010 Colorado With clarion flip screen and pionners 2ways in doors on 250wX2 amp 2 kenwood 12s on phoenix gold amp 1000rms.
What i have to start with.
2 12 Pioneer Champion series pro DVC 4ohm 3500 max 1000 rms, parallel with a hifonics brz2100.1d ran @ 1ohm. in a qbomb XL box
Lightning audio b4.320.4 55wX4 @ 4ohm, 80wX4 @ 2ohm. (will change in the future)
I plan on getting a Audiocontrol DM-608 first then door speakers. I want to leave rear door functional for passengers. I think i would be better running the front components active since i will be spending the money on the DSP. I am not going for anything amazing just something that sounds good. Is it worth running active or running passive and doing the rear doors with new 2 ways and powering all 4? Door speakers also have depth mounting issue i think can be solved with adaptors or rings just can't go to big in front with mid driver. Also not sure about speakers. I want to go with 6.5 fronts over stock 6x8 for better mid bass. I do not know about speaker brands have not kept up want good mid bass looked at morel or hertz. I have to keep a reasonable budget or stretch out the build lol.
