Speaker question

I'm running a Zapco DC Ref 750.2 to my Dyn MW162s. About 375 watts RMS each. Also a matching 750.2 to my tweets, which are just some Infinity leftovers from the comp set the previous owner had in there. Obviously, not pushing anything close to that much power to those tweets or they would fry. Probably more like 10% of it... but the power is there, on tap. I will be replacing those, was looking into some Morels, Dyns, HAT, Scan, Seas, etc. But I think I have decided to find a way to put HLCDs in, like I have in my Tahoe. So it's on hold for the moment.

I am all about headroom. Dyns absolutely SHINE with the more power you can give them (6.5" midbass with 3" voice coil FTW). I will probably be sealing and rebuilding my doors, although I may drop the Dyns in favor of Exodus Anarchy midbasses if/when I put in the horns. I will build enclosures for the Dyns in the doors first to see how they sound with all that power, and if I'm not blown away, I'll put in the Anarchys.

Yes, I like it loud.

Yes, I like headroom.

No, I probably don't utilize all the power I have on tap. But my system isn't stressed to play insane volumes, either. That's my goal. Crank it and the system never even stresses.

Still have a ways to go in the sub-bass area, big plans for that... but overbuilding the electrical system in preparation will be the key there. That's what I did on the Tahoe, and I have been very pleased with it.

I don't mind people criticizing my choices... I know it is over the top, and I know it isn't for everyone... but it IS the right choice for me.



<edit>
To give you an idea... I was running 400 RMS to each Exodus Anarchy in the doors in my Tahoe... and that was at 8 ohms. And also 400 RMS to each HLCD. Of course... same principle... gains set way back, nothing close to that actually going to the horns. But running dual 4-channel amps bridged for 400x4 to the front stage. A thing of BEAUTY.
