car is in the shop

no amp for the 61/2's?  Yes get some sound dampner installed.

Do you REALLY want to know?

Shyah, right! If the car gets hit by lightning! Powerbass? IMO, there is probably better stuff out there for your cash... KarTuneMan likes the stuff, but I've only heard VERY mixed reviews about it... A bit over-rated power-wise, from everything I've experienced with the stuff.

Which Mojos?

Not a big fan of the Kenwoods. Mediocre at best sound quality, and more expensive than they need to be.

As opposed to the air sealed?

Why are you adding tweeters? You've already GOT tweeters in the Pioneers. You do LOVE the smiley-face EQ curve, don't you?

nissan370z wrote: pioneer 6x9s and 6.25s forgot what model but they were the best they had

...and yet, you feel the need to add tweeters. Man, the salesman got ahold of you, and decided to not let go!

nissan370z wrote: powerbass 600.4 amp

Yep!... He saw you a-comin'! See my opening lines re: Powerbass. There are DEFINITELY better amps for highs. Powerbass and RF are about on an even playing field for HF reproduction. This I CAN speak to. Harsh, raspy... Oughta go fine with all your tweeters!

First thing I have read that is "correct". You'll need that kind of power capacity, for sure.

Never mix battery types. Ever. One battery up front, but if you MUST have two battteries, IDENTICAL, both front and rear.

Good alternator. Second thing done right, AFAIAC.

nissan370z wrote: im also doing the big 3 with 4guage wiring

#4 is not large enough. You have a 200A alternator. You MUST use wiring safe for 200A. You have to go to #2, to do it right.

If everything is done correctly, the one GOOD battery up front will be enough.

Nice car. Don't you think it deserves a nice system?

nissan370z wrote: probably get some sound dampening too.. not sure

LOTS of it! My '01 Civic has 3 boxes of Dynamat Extreme in it, custom damping and pillow stuffing in all kinds of places, expanding foam shot into EVERY open hole in the car (filled every hollow member I get my hands on...), plastic panels damped with Dynamat and spray-on damping. Count on about another five to six notes, including installation.

nissan370z wrote: what do you all think of that set up?

I addressed each point individually, as there was SO much wrong with it, but not everything was, and not everything was completely wrong. I, personally, would reconsider MANY of the components, as well as the electrical... Well, mostly the electrical INSTALLATION.It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

so what do you recommend then? i was going to get the memphis 2500watt amp. and probably a memphis 4 channel amp for the components.

they are the new memphis mojos 12d4... the black ones i guess not the orange ones

It looks to me that you want to install a grab bag of car stereo into your vehicle and are prepared to throw money away. If that is the case, continue on your path as it will definitely leave you throwing money away in the future as well. If you want to do it right, then post the goals of the new system that you are after and then a good and properly matched together system can be designed.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

your 1st mistake is coming onto a forum full of veteran car audio/video installers and even mentioning a brand like powerbass. Now, I happen to support the brand simply because, as a retailer, it can be bought cheap and sold reasonably and bring in a NICE profit margin! But, to build a system, where powerbass is your powerhouse...umm, no. bad idea. might sound ok, but you're gonna have problems down the road...trust me. Also, I'm interested to know EXACTLY what pioneer speakers you're using. IMO, pioneer doesn't touch a brand like Polk or Eclipse, but everyone's sound preferences are different. I think you have the right idea in some areas, but you're mixing it with some really bad ones. Ex - Kicker kit w/ powerbass amp. Why not do a Kicker kit w/ a Kicker amp? or Memphis? or anything high-end? Seems like your "putting Nitto's on your 2WD Kia"."It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument."

memphis 4kw mojo amp for the 2 mojo subs.  I would go with last years models and try to find a MCA300.2 for the mids and highs.
