Awesome! Thank you so much for your help with this, I really appreciate it. Last question, are the new Polk db series better then the older ones (DB6501 vs DB6502)? Are the newer ones worth the extra money? I believe the older tweeter is a bit larger, but I'm not sure how much of a difference...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll be sure to take a look at those. I've heard pretty good things about the polks, and they do seem to have one of the highest sensitivity rating so I might hop on those but I'm note entirely sure yet. If I were to get Polk comps up front, would you recommend...

I like to have some sort of music coming from behind me, would it be a good idea to get comps for the front and coaxials for the rear deck just to put something there? and what speakers would you recommend that don't absolutely need an amp? (at least for a little while)

Okay, so I know what I need to do now, now I need the equipment... Since I'm going to have to do more than what I was anticipating or hoping for, I'm afraid I'll have to get the speakers and amplifier at two different times. Do you have suggestions for 6.5 coaxial speakers that would be okay to...

So you think I would need at least a second battery, upgrading the 3 wires, and probably a new alternator? How powerful of an alternator would I need? And should I just go with 0 gauge wire just to be safe? If I wanted to avoid upgrading my electrical system, how much more power do you think I...

Right! I thought I was forgetting something... It's going in a 2004 Honda civic EX with stock electrical. As for the battery, I just have a 12 volt Duralast group size 51.

Hey everyone,  I have a Crescendo Symphony 600.1 powering 2 SSA DCONs and am now planning on upgrading my speakers from stock. I want to get a second amp for them, but am unsure of what exactly I need to do. I was looking into getting a Crescendo S4, but I'm worried that would be I'd drawing...

Yeah, that's the only amp I have. You don't think that a 100A fuse would be too much?

Okay, so I'll be replacing the whole wire then. Now since I have to do that, I have to then replace the inline fuse with it. I currently have a 70A fuse on the 8 gauge wire, since I'm moving up to a thicker wire should I increase the fuse as well? I have a Crescendo symphony 600.1 amp. Thanks...

Okay, so after going out to my car to start and finish this seemingly easy project, I noticed that the wire that I'm extending, the wire from the fuse box to the battery) seems to have corrosion on it... Would working with that be a bad idea? Should I cut past the inline fuse to the non exposed...

So even thought the wires are different types and look like different gauges, they can still be used together? This is what I was given to use I want to make sure that I understand this and do this properly. I don't need to solder both ends, I just twist them and push them into the splice...

Hi Everyone, it's been a while since I've last been on the forums, mainly because I've been so pleased with how my car has turned out. However, something has happened that I can't quite figure out and need some help with. A few weeks ago, I had to replace my car battery and while taking off the...

The program power is the peak rms i assume? Why can you use that rather than the continuous rms power? I thought you should always match amps to the continuous rating so that you don't put too much strain on the speakers.

Okay so I really don't mean to be stealing your thread but I've been looking for a new amp and speakers and I'm just a little confused. The JBL speakers that ekah is planning to get are rated for 90watts rms per speaker. But the PPI 900.4 is rated at 225watts x 4channels at 2 ohms. Correct me if...

Thoughts on the Polk db651? I've looked into them and they don't seem too bad, though I have read that they need close to RMS power to sound good. Would it really be that bad if I use the head unit's amp for a while? Thank's for the help!
