Reconfigure existing system

Was a member of the original forum but just found this one a couple of days ago.

Have an '02 GMC Envoy, (3) ZPA 0.5s, ZPX2 3-way crossover, PLD1, Tantrum PowerGrid, Xenon 200.4, Tantrum 400.4, and TI12d Elite Subwoofer. That is all the PG gear I have already.

Set-up I have right now is Diamond Audio S600s (midrange and crossovers only blew out the tweeters) and a pair of Ample Audio tweets for front components and a pair of Power Acoustik 6.5 coaxial for the rears running off of the Xenon 200.4. Then I only have one ZPA 0.5 running my TI12d Elite sub.

In the next coupld of months I am going to add one or maybe two Optima YellowTop batteries in the back on my SUV and put a second ZPA 0.5 on the TI12d Elite (one for each voicecoil) to put about 2000WRMS into it.

I originally wanted to get the TI Elite Components but they are hard to find.

So need some suggestions on components. (These are the ones I came up with)

1.)
I was thinking about the Focal 270V3, Polyglass V2 3-way components with a 1" tweet, 5.25" midrange and an 11" woofer; its 94db efficient and handles 150WRMS. Probably put some Focal Access Coax in the rear.

2.)
I was thinking about getting the QLogic kickpanels and putting in two sets of matching 6" Component speakers ( for a total of 4 midranges and 4 tweets in the front). And same brand coax in the rear.

3.)
Wait and see if PG comes out with a new titanium line in the future

Anyone have some good suggestions to go with my gear.

Thanks

If you really want the Ti comps, you should be able to find a pair or two. So, you have your Ti Elite sub running off of the ZPA 0.5 (nice)? Impressions?

You may look into a different brand of batteries. I was told by a very reliable source that:

Yellow tops and red tops and blue tops are all dry cell technology which means you can put them in your car, but dry cells recharge slow as molasses on a cold morning.

I'm having a charging system problem myself and I'm running a yellowtop.
And a Ti Elite sub. I'm thinking about adding a BatCap or a Kinetik battery in my trunk.

Yea the ZPA 0.5 is nice but I know there is more potential in the 12d elite. That is why I am going to add another ZPA 0.5 in my system (one per VC).

Actually thinking about finding a second 12d elite as well.

I have been looking on the net for different high power amplifiers.

Has anyone had experience with the hifonics xx maximus amplifier
10000watts @ 2 ohms

Now thinking about purchasing one of these to power three ti 12d elites.
