Phoenix Gold Phorum

So I've been on a PG amp craze, just picked up "4" new amps... I am putting something in my Cobra, the question is what?

I plan to run front and rear components, probably Orion NT (ADS carbon fiber coned). 1 12W7 in a sealed box firing towards the trunk mounted under the deck. I may run an extra set of components in the kick panels, not sure yet... if I do, they will be Focal Utopia 5.35s...

I am using an Alpine processor, so the built in crossovers on the Tis won't be used anyway...

Any ideas? What would you guys use if you had to pick between a MS1k, Off Roads (+ maybe a Ti1200.1).

Also, if i use the MS1k, should I run the front and back speakers in series and the other side for the sub? I don't think my speakers are going to like 500 RMS if I bridge em.

personally...if you are going to go through that much work, i think you are WAY better off running dedicated midbasses + a component set up front VS 2 component sets.

as far as amps. i think it comes down to the install factor for them. ti have fans so you might have more install options

Makes sense... If I already have toe components, what do you suggest for a mid bass? The NTs are brand new, and I won't be able to find just a 6" driver anywhere... cause they stopped making these about 12 years ago. Also, the main problem for me is I do not want to cut the car ANYwhere... the doors house 5x7s, so I was just going to make a plate to use a 5 and tweet. Done this before in different install and works nice.

The amps are going behind the sub on a flat board that will flush out the trunk. I am not hiding anything, they will just sit there mounted on the wood panel that will raise the floor about 3/4 inch, so install options aren't really an issue.

for the midbass, you can find a ton at partssexpress, or madisound. you would keep your 5x7 plate idea, and then add the mid bass to the kick panel where you had just talked about potentially adding the focal's

oh, and i didnt see that yuou had the offroad...in that case...you HAVE to use an offorad.

i would use 1 offroad and stow away the second. use 1 side for the 5x7 plates, 1 side for the dedicated mids, and the 1200.1 for a sub.

that would be INSANE and awesome

So don't use the other off road for the back speakers? My thoughts were both Off Roads, one half of one to the front kicks, other half to the doors, half second to the backs, and the other half second to the sub... that'd be the easiest and best looking since I like matching amps.

i sold alot of nt mids and highs, i still have two tweeters with crossovers

mids took a dump
