Thanks for the input! I should have added that my only goal is to make my rock and alternative music sound good inside the vehicle. I'm not trying to wake the neighbors or entertain people at red lights, so it sounds like I'm after the clarity of round comps.

I'm soon going to replace the Pioneer 4x6s in my front deck with 80-100w RMS components. I can fit both 5.25s and 5x7s up in there...would 5x7s provide significantly better midbass than the other? (My bass will be coming from a 12" at around 150-200w) I'm wondering if there is a general answer...

Thanks for the quick replies! Looks like I'll be getting the 1/0 and ring terminals this week. I think the only question I still have is where to buy a 350 amp fuse and fuse holder. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi all. After a couple weeks of observing I'm ready to participate in these forums. I recently installed a Profile AP1040 in my 2000 Ford Taurus with the recommended 4 ga. power and ground wire. Now the headlights dim when I use the power windows and the amp ocassionally 'fizzles' (for lack of...
