Hello All,
First Post here. Great site with a lot of useful information. I am in the process of buying an 87 GN. It is a 61,000 mile T-top with concert sound and light mods. As for my question, I read many threads about the sound staging with these Regals and I am a bit confused. I have several audio components from the early 90s (University Days) and wanted to know your advice / opinions on using them for a sound system. Here is what I have (some good, some not so good)
1 Orion HCCA 250 amp factory upgrading (2100 power supply) competition amp
1 Orion Cobalt 260 amp
1 Audio Control EQL series 2
1 Audio control 2XS
1 MTX 2 way electronic crossover 12db/octive filter slope, independent variable sub and high pass crossovers.
1 Eclipse ECD 413 single CD player head unit (yes its a pull-out model)
1 PR 5.25" Kapton Pro Series Mids
1 Pr 1" SoundStream softdome neodymium tweeters with 24db/octive passive cross over
1 Pr 3.5" Boswick mids
1 Pr Boston Acoustics 4" x 6" GM speakers
1 Pr 12" Subs Lanzer with dual voice coils, cast baskets and kevlar cones?
I was thinking of running mids and highs off the HCCA since it is a much better amp and bridging the subs to 4ohm mono and run off the cobalt? From what I remember, the subs are power pigs and need a lot of current to even move. I need the trunk space for storage and T-tops plus I am not a big bass head as I once was. Could I use 1 sub instead?
Do I need an extra battery? Large power capacitor? Where do these cars need dynomat? Rear fill ( 6 x 9's)?
Any advise is appreciated.
