Well, I feel a little foolish for relying on the sounddomain wiring guide a little too much.  No problem on the amplifier side then, plenty of class d mono amps will work.

Here's my next problem.  I have big feet (size 13 shoe).  As you can see below my sebring doesn't leave much room for a decent sized kick.  I can't imagine fitting something anywhere close to a .5ft^3 kick in there.  This is why I was leaning towards a 4" midrange driver in the kick.  I could probably get by with very tiny enclosures and the response of the driver wouldn't be hurt badly.  Any thoughts / ideas?

I think you'll have to define the problem that you perceive you are having with the system as it is now.  What is lacking, as far as what you believe SQ should be?  Is it only the imaging, or do you feel there's a lack of some frequencies?
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Well, other than the imaging, I feel like the upper male vocal range and on into most of the female vocal range is slightly strained during musical peaks.  i.e. a females voice will sing strong when not a lot of midbass / other instrumentation is going on, but it gets what I can only describe as dry and strained or slightly grainy and harsh during a peak. 

I also used my old analog spl meter to determine where my biggest holes are.  (only waiting on the mic preamp for my truerta setup)  Anyway, when I did this I determined that I definitely have a midbass hole w/ the quarts from around 100-500hz.  This hole probably accentuates the break up I'm hearing during musical peaks at higher frequencies.  Anyway, I'm anxious to see the rta results, but I think this quart driver doesn't handle 1.5khz+ very well and is lacking in midbass.  I'm not optimisic that I'll be able to fix these two problems with the eclipse eq.

Also, I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to.  Bass response should be slightly louder than the rest of the curve, correct?  When should this bump begin?  How large should it be?  +6db 45-90hz?  Anyone have any shots of rta results from great sq sounding cars?

Well, there it is.   :-)  Any thoughts?
