So, in a few weeks im going to be building a system for a limo. The owner wants it to sound good and crisp.

I was thinking of putting splits front and back 6 1/2 and some 4 inch co ax in the middle of it.

it currently has 6x9 in the back in cheap boxs and splits up front. towards the middle of the limo is lacking abit.

it also has two 12 subs in the boot and leaves no room in the boot.

was thinking of going to a smaller but better quality 10 inch sub in a box in the rear quarter.

now it has 2 4 chn amps in their at the moment running the whole system. but i was thinking of going to a 2 chn a 4 and a mono as their is plenty of room for these to be located.

now, does this sound good, will adding the 4inch co ax make it sound poxy and should i go for some 6 inch's.

not 100% sure on budget yet and this limo is mainly used for debs.

can anyone recommend brands of amps, they need to be smallish but not to small?

also a good quality 10inch sub?

Also throw up any ideas u have or suggestions.

4 inch co ax in the middle of it. Maybe it might be better to put SUPREMO SW 9" and for the anp I would recommend ZED Audio and for the sub tell me more sq or spl

so that will be 2 9" in the middle 6 1/2 both ends sub in boot

more, smaller splits (say 4" or 5") in a few places, and a few 10" spread around the place would be best.

people in limo's aren't going to say "Wow, that stages awesome", but they will say "hey, this sounds great" if the frequency response is good.

+1 on multiple small 2/way driver & dual sub stage.

I'd even suggest dual 6.5" 2-way co-axials in the four far corners of the passenger area and a 12" sub at either end. Simple set up.
The trick though is to have a simple place for the passengers to add music, load discs, connect ipod, perhaps a screen or 3 for karaoke and a master overrider ON/OFF switch in the drivers cabin for the driver to take control back when it gets out of hand.

As for amps, ARC Audio Mini's pack a punch on a small footprint.

What type of limo?

I've done heaps from semi-stretch Fairlanes to 10 seat Lincolns and Hummers.

In the big Lincolns I used four sets of 5.25" speakers and a single 15", it sounded killer.

and budget also?

I would leave the splits up front then just go coax 6.5" & try to mount them so that each passenger gets a stereo image. 1x10" sub in boot (rear quarter) because you need room. 2 channel for front, 4 channel for coax & mono for sub. a 2 ohm stable 4 channel will give you some flexibility when wiring multiple coax.

1x15" sub in the middle of the limmo facing up .Have it in a glass box with lighting.Bolt a glass plate 50mm above the subwoofer cone.
Then install rows of 6" co-ax around.
