all around best set up

seems like this forum is kinda weak, but im sure theres someone out there with a nice system. iv got 2 4in infinity ref speakers in my dash and a 10inches rockford fosgate p2 hooked to a dual amp in a q-log box. pioneer head unit. it hits hard and covers lots. thats all iv got room for stock without makin mounted boxs for speakers, which im considering. maybe some 6x9's. dunno. hows it sound to u?

I;ve got the same speaks in the front right now but i'm upgrading to 6" kicker components in kick panels for teh front stage, and the rears are a 6.5" infinity reference component set mounted in the rear side panels (4runner)
Sub is a 12" Image Dynamics IDMAX, power wiring is 0 gauge and 4 gauge, speaker wiring is 12 gauge. Amp all your speakers, they will sound aesome.

the infinity 4's are capable of 25watts rmp and my head unit pushes 23rms. cant rly mess too much with those. they sound great anyways. i dont have any other wiring spots as of yet in my pu though, so anything other than the 4in's im gonna have to box and set up somewhere.

They can handle 35wrms iirc.

The thing is, your deck may push 23w rms, but this is what the amp inside your deck looks like

... and that's actually 3 seperate amps.

They have lots of distortion (5% THD) and will not put out nice bass or treble.
If you throw in a 20x2 to 30x2 amp you will have much better SQ and bass. I've got a couple old school orion amps this size kicking around i'll get rid of for 15 bucks (what i paid for them).

Also, QLogic makes kickpanels for your truck, to get some nice sound from where you want it (the front stage).

Cheers,
Greg

thanks for the info. truthfully, i dont rly want the bass out of my dash speakers, especially seeing as they are 4inchers, but if i could find a way to rly tweak them out so they could just sit on high notes and such that would b nice, cause my sub can cover every ounce of power iv got, but i get about 2/3 up and my infinitys start to distort a little, especially with medium level bass. if im lookin for one of those tiny amps wheres could i find them around me and how easy is it to set up?

Well i can send you a tiny amp you're pretty much paying 15 plus shipping (it will be prolly 15 bucks shipping) it's an orion cobalt 230.... 2x30wrms.. it has adjustable gain, so you would have to adjust the hpf on the deck because it has no built in crossover. I would set it to 63 or 80hz. All you need to hook it up is a set of RCA's from the front outputs on the deck into the amp, a remote turn on wire (that you can tap in to your subs) and power and ground wires, where hte ground can go directly to the body, and the power, just tap in to the power on your sub amp. Then run speaker wires from the amp to your speakers, the SQ will go up 10 fold and they will be great. Really easy install, just mount it under your seat. I can send you a pic if you PM me your email addy.

Greg

PS run your HPF atleast 63 or 80hz like i said, so the speakers do not distort.
PPS and when i said bass out of your front speakers, i meant midbass....
