Debating on 2x 18 inch Solo X 3000W peak 1500W Cont RMS subs or,
8x 10 inch CVX's (not sure on specs yet) or,
6x 12 inch CVX's (not sure on specs yet)..

2x 3 inch eminence tweets or selenium tweets for the front dash (I dont wanna fuck the original dash up seeing that its Mint as it is ^^)

Why so many different woofers? How about timbre matching? midbass woofers up front ofc... (I'd go 8") and one speaker cabinet with all matching subs?

i'd go 4 channel on the rear deck and 1-2 high power amps for the subs.

here are some places to check out amps/subs/speakers

thx, im thinkin for the rear.. maybe a 1200W 4 channel? for 300W continous on the EV's, that should be fine, super loud and crisp like i want.
Wondering should i have bass blockers to these? the only bass i want is from the actual subs

well the thing is they are mid range speakers so you'll get mid range frequencies. it won't be like like subwoofer bass though. your amps will allow you to tune it to the frequencies your comfortable with as well.

tweeters=treble only (what you are saying)
woofer=mid range frequencies
subwoofers=low bass frequencies

if my words and urs mean the same then yes.. Trunk = subwoofers = bass (i kno the diff between woofers and subwoofers, many dont ^^)
10 inch EV's = mid range loud speakers, ill want them VERY loud and crisp..
Tweets = Treb, these 2-4 tweets should get the job done the right way :)

ya just on those evs you'll have to do a bit of tuning on the amp to get them where you want.

you realize you're going to have to buy a new alternator and batteries to run all this right?
