it's been a long time figuring out the sound in my car, but i think i'm done now. here's what I did and i'm very happy now!

Kenwood 6960 head unit
JL hd900/5 under back passenger seat -driving tweeters and sub
Kenwood xr-4s under back driver seat driving midbass drivers
Audison bitone in trunk (to be swapped with rockford 3sixty.3 soon)
Focal 165 krx2 components in the front
focal 165 krc coax in the back
JL 13TW5 13.5 sub sealed box
Dynamat extreme double layer in doors and trunk.
no crossovers, fully active system with the audison bitone

 

Not bad. Looks a little $$ but hey, go for it! Let me know how that 13TW5 sounds though. I liked the look. Just didn't want to have to build a box for it. Yeah, I'm lazy sometimes lol.

 

i bought mine in already in a "truck" box.. eventually i'll build a fiberglass box for the spare tire

i tried 4 subs.. this was my favorite for it's size
subs tried
jl w7 13.5
bazoka 10 inch
pioneer flat sub in truck box

 

Damn thats a range of subs lol. I considered the pioneer but heard they had issues after extended periods of use or they would give out after about 8 months of daily use.

 

Should sound good. I'm doing a build for a guy that will use either a bit one or a bit ten after the first of the year.

 

I'm confused by you saying you are using the 900/5 for tweeter and sub... front 4 channels bridged on the tweeters? Or is it driving tweeters up front plus rear coax?

I'm about to install a DIY 3 way up front with Pioneer P800RS and a Zed Leviathan III at the core. Haven't decided on sub yet - 10w7, Fi Q10d2, (2) Dayton RSS265HO-4, Arc 12d2. Gotta love the PRS can do all my processing. I will be getting a DEX-P99rs if I'm not happy with the 800.
