My 8 ohms Car Sound System Build
Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2010 12:53 am
With the affordability of big amps now day's I figured there's no reason not to use 8 ohm speakers. It just seemed the next logical step for me. So I got myself three big amps.. a 1000w mono block (which I'm running into two 15's linked in series to make 8 ohms - which means I'm running 250watts rms 8 ohms into each sub); for the front I've got a 4 x 100w (bridged into 2 x 250w which makes 2 x 125w at 8 ohms); and in the back 2 x 150w (I haven't got 8 ohm speakers for the back yet... will have to wait to missus goes away on work again so she can't stop me from going to jcar!); and finally I've got two 3" titanium dome 8 ohm tweeters which I squeezed into the dash board.
I LOVE the sound, the base is really punchy and tight and the mids and highs are crisp and vibrant. It's a pleasure to listen too.

the size difference is big compared to car speakers considering they are both 6"

I fully sound proofed the inner and outer door skin and sealed all the holes to make it as air tight as I could.
