I really liked the looks of that JL 6 channel that racer raul and caraudio got my attention with - but the last two channels are D class I thought? So that killed that idea...

You guys are coming up with some good ideas. However, in order for me to avoid building a false floor in my hatch, (every square inch needs to be saved) I need to keep it to a two amp system. On top of that, one cannot be longer than 14" and the second no longer than 38" so they both fit on the back of my rear seats. The seats are not tall enough (15") to accommodate two amps side-by-side unless they are super small like the Lanzar Opti line or Xetec. Yeah, I know, this last condition is a pain in the @$$. I am sure you guys are fed up with me hamstringing all your best efforts by now. :blush: It would be so easy if I had a real trunk!

The Alpines will fit...

Put the F345 next to each other (26" total length)
And the M605 is about 8" wide...

All 3 side by side is a total of 34"... looks to me the Alpine will fit with a little creativity...

I'm sorry, I misspoke. I meant that the lengths are 14" and 24" for a total of 38". Oops.

Ok...

The F345 + M605 side by side would be 13" + 8" = 21" total < 24"
Another F345 would fit in the 14" space... 13" < 14"

Honestly racerraul, I am not always this stupid. I totally missed that configuration. I have been looking at specs and dimensions over so many amp lines that my brain has become jumbled.

I have found that maybe a F345 (50x4) and a F545 (100x2 + 500x1) may do the job as well. The only thing I am concerned with the above configuration is 100W enough for the Adire extremis or new Seas nextel series? With your solution I have to buy a third amp, but I am more than satisified with 300W to the extremi. Decisions, decisions.....

 

[racerraul]

I was recommending the 3 amp option assuming a 8ohm midbass...

For what it is worth, the F545 birthsheets I have seen have it cranking out 180+ watts per channel @ 14v... so it definitely has grunt
