Redoing system again...
Currently, I have a bunch of stuff I haven't even installed yet, but now I'm wanting to redo the whole layout again. I haven't installed the mids or tweets yetm nor the new crossovers, and now, I'm considering doing a single brand system (except for the amps and subs). Basically, the components, and headunit (though I'll wait till last to do the hu as I just got a new one). Regardless, I'm looking at Pioneer's stuff, and haven't found a place to order as of yet, that I trust anyway. What I'm looking at is the following:
Pioneer TS-M7PRS 6.75 mids
Pioneer TS-T3PRS 1.25 tweets
Pioneer UD-N2PRS Crossover
I also want to get a 3.5-4 inch mid/high to make a 3 way, but I haven't found one that pioneer offers that's not a coax yet. Don't ask me what has possessed me to do this, as I still haven't figured it out yet. I'm also looking for a pair of 8's that'll do 250 RMS apiece as well (as I plan on running them off of my JL 500/1) in an SQ design (the enclosure will be sealed, and made from fiberglass, as I am almost complete with it). What I need is suggestions on an SQ sub that'll do this, as well as a place to buy the Pioneers that's reputable. Eventually, I plan on getting the Pioneer Reference HU and DSP that accompanies it. But that'll be later, as the P8 will do for now. Anyone know of a Pioneer, non coax tri-ax, 3.5-4 mid? And where can I buy the above products for a decent price that's not rediculously overpriced (MSRP is 300 for the mids, and less for the tweets and crossovers). Also, how would I manage to run a 3-way setup off of those crossovers, since they are 2-way crossovers? Or, do I need to find a crossover that's set-up for a 3-way, and which company should I look at for that for optimal operation? (Oh, and I'll be glassing my own kicks).

Rep Power: 0 Trying to build an entire system based on a single brand name is a bad idea if you care about what it will sound like, if you are sponsored or advertising that's another thing.........
Chances are if you go out and buy a set of SPEAKERS that you listened to and you like the SOUND.......you may not like the FEATURES of that particular brands HU...........
I get an MB boner for MB Quart components but they don't make HU's, and I have a fetish for Eclipse HU's but I'd never ever ever buy their components, although I do run two eclipse amps.....

Our store's demo vehicle that I helped build is completely Eclipse and that has won some of the local championchips.. If our store had more money, we could go to Nationals cuz it hits mid 160s..
^^If that was a remark towards me, I wasn't trying to brag about our store or anything.. I'm just trying to prove a point that you CAN build a good vehicle with one manufacturer to Tom1178..
