12" P2's. And 36" is all I can fit in the back =[

And i've been looking around.. kinda feeling a few pairs of MB Quarts instead of the HiFonics Tritons..

im not sure about 2drs but in a 4dr the widest box you can fit is 36 or 37" across since thats how far apart the wheel wells are

I figured since this is a discussion thread i'd throw a few vids up, none are very good though. take note this is only 900 watts, so don't expect something amazing

in the last vid my damn phone kept getting texts so that's what that ringing is, and for some reason youtube turned the brightness way down from the original one so it's pretty dark.

^^He's right, you will have to crossover the speakers. Running the Tritons too high will cause BAD BAD noise problems, and running low frequencies to the tweeters will fry them fast. Try these, they're crossovers that go on the RCA inputs of the amps. Not as good as active processing at the HU or built into the amp, but good enough for what you're doing.

The low pass would be for the mids, the high pass for the tweeters.

And this one for the fronts and tweets?

Both of those amps would do well for what you're wanting to do, though I would look into this one for the mids just so you have a chance at running them with as much power as you can get.

That looks pretty good. I was considering just getting all MB Quart speakers instead of the Tritons. But we'll see.

What amp would you recommend for the subs? I have 8 12" Rockford P2's. The 4ohm versions.

Should I get 1 amp for everything. Or 2 separate amps and put 4 on each amp.

Well, for 8 P2's you'll want around 2000 watts total RMS power since that's what they all add up to. I gotta ask though, are they Dual 4 ohm or Dual 2 ohm? I couldn't find a P2 with a Single 4 ohm coil. If they're D4 then you can get by with series/paralleling the subs together to a 1 ohm load and use a single amp. If they're D2 (or Single 4) you'll either need two separate amps OR a pair of amps that can be strapped together.
