right mate first off 2x2 is 4 so 2 pairs is 4 and 4 pairs are 8 ,+2sub +1sub = 11 speakers in total inc subs!
the mb quarts ARE component speakers and pretty good ones at that!
6x9's give good rear fill and i like that,plus they are premier top of the rangenot cheap sh*t
the subs are mixed because the 8"s are going under the front seats special low depth mounting subs only 7.5 cm deep! and the 12" is going in the boot again a very thin sub designed for a very small box (ideal for the micra boot)
capacitor yeah they can be a waste but they do help smooth the supply to the amp preventing clipping, plus its cheap and flashy :blush:
the car will be fitted witha pair of good quality batteries so nothing to worry about there!
the amp is a 5 chanel amp thats 2 ohm stable so the comps and 6x9 will be wired in parallel two speakers to each output showing 2ohms to the amp and the subs will be wired in a tri series parallel arrangement showing 3 ohms to the amp. simple yes? good :laugh:
i will be importing this kit from the us it will be about £615 all in which is way way cheaper than sourcing in the uk even from the cheap places!
i have the most eclectic music taste your ever likely to encounter so i want a system that will cope with what ever i throw at it and still sound great plus i want it to be loud without distorting or being under strain, hence the use of quality kit! and plenty of it! :laugh:
thanks for your input though.
i was really after comments on the actual items in the kit rather than the proposed amount of kit! to be fair its not really alot its just going in a very small car! ive had similar systems in the past but they have been in bigger cars, except my system in my old mini that had a 10" sub 4 6x9" and 4 5.25" and that sounded awesome :devil:
so anybody else got an opinion?
Sorry, I read your extremely and extensive equipment list wrongly, its 11.

Balls, search on talkaudio for the numerous threads on caps, they are a waste of money and don't prevent clipping.
It would be better to give 90wrms to each speaker set than to split 90wrms between 2 sets of speakers. At least cut it down to 4 sets, where on earth will you fit 2 pairs of components (and 4 tweeters?!) in the front?
Are you going to have 4 6x9's on the shelf?!!!
You don't need 6x9 rear fill, just use the 6.5's with enough amp power (which is currently lacking) or put (as I suggested before) one pair of 6.5's in the rear.

If that's the case, why underpower your speakers to drive them to distortion?! You should be looking at more like 200wrms per channel to give you plenty of overheard, not 45wrms!
Don't ask for thoughts and then throw them all back at me.
Don't forget import duty and tax.
