help with new install...soundstage advice needed

Post by 98PGTrans Am »

I want to wire 2 sets of RSD65c 6.5"components in parrallel/per channel of an Rsd500.4 amp. Is this OK? This will be in the front of my 1998 Trans Am in the doors and some Q-logic kickpalels. the rear channels would be hosting a pair of these Rsd65c 6.5"ers in the rear seat area and a pair of Rsd4 4" coaxials in the hatch area. Should not be a problem right? I just want to get it right. I will also be posing a triple set of Rsd10d DVC subs in a custom embossed t-top box from the guys at Subthump to a 600.1 amp wired in to load at 2.67 ohms. I have the wiring for the subs down. Just need help with all the others. Also any suggestion an a capacitor?

I allready posted this in the car audio forum but will be adding pics as I install. Shoulod I skip the 4"ers in the hatch area. I am wondering if they will ruin the sound from the subs? There were some stock speakers in this area. Should I just cut them or would the rsd4's be ok?

Welcome to the phorum!

As far as impedance goes, the amp will be able to run what you've suggested. But it will be running at it's max capability with 2ohm/chnl.

As far as soundstage goes, having 2 sets of speakers up front as well as rear speakers, there won't be much of a soundstage. Too many point sources of the same freq range will just smear any resemblance of a 'stage'.

My suggestion would be to do 1 set of speakers up front in the Q-forms and bridge the 500.4 to them and leave out the door speakers and any rear speakers. You'll be well on your way to a good 'soundstage' if that's what you're truly after.

I posted an answer to your thread in the car audio section too. Probably better suited over there. :wink:
