is a car stereo your house stereo?

If so can I see to get some ideas?

ive seen a few setups here

Would like some input

just a sets of comps and a small sub with a m50 (sporting fan shroud) running them is what I will have maybe a 3 way morel setup

but for now just a set of nice AVI's (old school lx's) with new school tweets

Your P.S is big enough, so that's no problem.
Just take in account to use either speakers made for your car, or select speakers with a impedance of 4-8 Ohms max.
My towers at the time were 6 Ohms, and they did well on the MS amps.
Current delivered bt the P.S never rose above 15-20 amps during normal [loud enough] use, even with the MS1000 installed on the wall, playing on the 12 inch sub plus the towers it never presented any problems.
Good luck; I still think it's a great way to enjoy stashed gear!

A little birdy told me that Nico is Yoda on this subject

Hehe, I'm old enough compared to most of you guys to at least LOOK LIKE YODA.

I think it's a bad idea to mount the amp inside or onto the enclosure; as stated before I've repaired quite some amps with loose parts inside caused by vibrations....

So I hope you'll change your mind about that!
For the rest; go for it.
