Any suggestions on how many coaxes I should run to offset the bass of 12 12"s? I was thinking of 5 sets of the Polk DB651 due to being able to get a good deal on them.

I have seen one set of really good components IDQ's I believe for 12-12" jlaudio w6's that were ran off of 4 A1200 ppi amps in a tahoe and the high's were great! This was a daily 152 setup.

Ywp, what D-Bass said. Personally I think it's a little tacky to have 8 mid ranges in the doors but thats my personal flavor. I think a really good set of diamonds like the 6" 4" and tweet or dynaudio, or image dynamics.
