Buddy,
You need to pay attention to the post dates of these threads your resurecting!
However, answer your questions.......
I had a 200amp alt, optima yellowtop and zero gauge kicker flex wire.
Everything was fine.......
Of course (unrelated) over last summer my truck caught fire while driving (105deg. out that day) and melted to the ground!
How many rms watts to the tweets??????
Well it would be hard to give you a definitive answer to this... I can tell you I have run over 500watts to each set bridged before, and run up to around 150 or so to each tweet active at times...... I have used the spz's in just about every possible configuration and power situation and they just dont fail!
I see you already have them... Good choice
Also what is a good Mid-Bass Woofer to compliment the SPZ?
I have the DEH-P01 (P99RS) 4 Way Active HU. I wanted to run my SPZ's Active like you did, a separate amp for SPZ Tweeters, a seperate amp for Mids (GT2300 for SPZ Mids), and a seperate AMP for the Mid-Bass, maybe some 8" Subwoofers. Im thinking maybe I could also Crossover the mids too take care of mid-bass duties since the SPZ's according to you are bass competent. What do you think?
Also condolences on the truck burning up, that just sucks..
200 amp was aftermarket,
Hmmm.....Good midbass to match with the spz? I dont know why you would want to do that? Maybe with the spz50? But I suppose something that has a fast and dry attack would fit? Maybe the new ppi art sq 8s or scanspeak revs....I think the 4" revs match up well with the spzs if you wanted to go that route or add a second set of spz mids... Its tough because its one of the few 2way sets I find are great as they are..... The midbass is great and the midrange is great so with a good sub stage you should be fine. Adding a midrange is ok, but again the midrange is so good with that set you have to ask why? The midbass is great but obviously it cant really compete with an 8 if you cant blend it well with a sub so I suppose I can see maybe adding 8s if you really have to. Even the type R 8" would work pretty well too? (it goes with everything well
The ppi sq art 8s might be the best matchup.....just dont give them to much power!
How/where are you planning on laying out all this stuff and xover points?
Just curious.... You have a great start with the deck/amps and comps!!!!

The SPG will be in a sealed box in the trunk, facing the cabin and pointed slightly upwards. The SPZ's mids will be in the door panel (heavy sound deadening) and the tweets in the sail panels.
Everything you've told me, says I should just get another set of SPZ's in some kick panels.
You dont have them installed already?
I would work on the one set first..... Get the most out of them you can, then if you still feel your "missing" something address it. I doubt your going to "need" two sets......But, I would do it if I could so I really shouldnt say anything
I have a set of the z60's with about 250+ rms to each side and the mid bass is awesome. I agree and think you should hook them up first before making the decision of putting 8's or another set of z's up front. As long as you have some real power feeding them, you should be fine.. The only complaint I have is with the crossovers. I had to buy another one due to the original being a dud.
Good luck

I really want to upgrade my BA Pro's to the SPZ's. I have a JL 600/4 HD and plan on biamping the Z's. I have an IVA-W505 and PXA-H701. Would you go active or passive in this scenario?
Alpine IVA-W505,Boston Pro 60's,Boston SL65's,JL HD 600/4,PXA-H701, JL HD 1200/1, SPG555-4.
