I have another full-range RCA output from the deck that goes into the line driver, and then continues down the line and connects to an audio control ESP2.  The ESP2 is a signal processor that calls itself "a spacial sound inhancer" which is really a fancy name meaning it allows you to adjust the phasing betwen some of the speakers that will then give it the impression that you are listening inside of a much bigger car/venue.  After that processor it will then go into a Phoenix Gold EQ232 which is a 2 channel 30 band 1/3 octave eq to allow for more eq'ing adjustments that can be made easily from the drivers seat.  From there the full-range signal continues on to the 1-off pheonix gold/rane 3 way electronic cross over that I am using to run the front 3-way componants up front.  From there the signal is split up into 3 different sets of freqs so that the componants up front will play only the notes they are designed too.  This is called an active cross over system and will allow me to adjust the points where the singal is spit as well as indepndantly adjust the gain settings of those sets of freqs.  From there the signal is split and the higher freqs(anything over 150 hz) and fed into the front half of the phoenix gold elite.5 amp to drive the tweeters and mids.  The bass section of the signal though that was split out will go into the 2nd amp, a phoenix gold elite.2 amp where the signal is then amplified and sent out to the 9" woofers that are in the door.So in the end the 9's will get 305 watts each(according the the measurements taken for the birth sheetsThe 1" tweeters and the 5" mid will both get 120 watts eachFinally the subs will split 1180 watts betwen the 3 of them.  I thing it will be a good mix of power with the 9's having almost 3 times as much as the mids/tweets and the subs having more the 2x the power of the 9's.  Never owned such a high power system before and all the numbers on the birth sheets are RMS readings meaning the peak output will be significanly higher.  If by some strange chance you have not seen the build I do have it in the projects/build section.  I posting pics as I go and expaining them as well so if anyone has any questions don't be shy.</blockquote>
