I don't know how much this entire setup is going to cost, but I do know that item 10 alone costs more than 32k and item 11 costs more than 65k, both with b&w...

Phew !!!! costly...

Hey fordlover,

good choice of equipment.

there are somesuggestions i would like to give.

1. change your Audiobahn Eq to some better quality one.

2. go for better subwoofers that lightning audio....there are lot of options

3. with those amps and optima batteries you dun need 6 Farad of capacitance. You can do with 2 Farad. Give one to each amp.

4. How are you putting three sets of Q-Line MB Quarts?

Any more suggestions feel free to ask

two sets of mb quart in front door and one in rear door

navin · 18th September 2005, 23:18

2 in the front door. 2 tweeters in the front door as well? gotta hear this!

Autophile · 19th September 2005, 11:24

Ford lover,

You don't need two pair of QSD216's in the front instaed you can use MB Quart QSD 164 (Add On Midbass Kit) along with QSD216.

In this way you will get more midbass in the front hence better sound. You dun need the second tweeter anyway.

Hope it helps

navin · 19th September 2005, 12:31

right on JB! 2 tweeters will cause all sorts of polar interference.

Autophile · 19th September 2005, 18:01

They will ruin the sound in the top end as it will get too loud and will affect the imaging.

Sam Kapasi · 20th September 2005, 11:06

I agree with JB completely

navin · 23rd September 2005, 10:06

U know I've been thinking about this and maybe....one or more of the following happened.

a) the corssovers used were so well designed that they accounted for the interpolar distortion (a few speaker companies have managed to work around this).

b) the install was so fortunate that by some happenstance interpoalr distortions are not so prominent at the driver's listening position

c) the user is chauffered and hence does not hear too much from the front. If this is so might i suggest a nice pair of headphones from Stax, Grado, Senheisser or AKG.

I had heard a two set of MB Quart QSD 216 in SL65 in Dubai and it sounded terrific, and same kind of a combination too.
