[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8208965, member: 659121"] Ok.. I am asking this same question on 2 forums.. Here is a somewhat condensed version of what I'm after. Maybe it will help any confusion, and get some replies to help me out. 1) I'm after an upgrade to factory sound, nothing crazy loud or that rattles the car. 2) I will be buying a JL sub. I listen to rock music/alternative mainly (no rap no country) -- Should I get an 8" or 10" ? 3) On the JL Audio Sub -- Should I go with W0 or W1 -- They are similar in price? 4) If my MB Quarts MB Quart QM-160 KX (6.5" Coaxial Mids with 1" tweeters on top) [70watts RMS] Fit,.. which with spacers they definitely should -- Should I use them? I've gotten some saying Yes, they are great speakers, and some are like no.. Buy components. I think people are forgetting I'm after an upgrade not a competition system. These MB Quarts are $500 coaxial speakers, made in Germany and still work (they always had a cross-over on them, never were abused). 5) My head unit is the Pioneer pictured in thread -- and it's awesome, with 4volt pre-outs. 6) So having MB quarts to throw in doors, Pioneer headunit already installed,.. I'm in need of ONE amp to drive the MB Quarts at 75watts x 2 ,.. and have enough in the amp to drive a single 8" or 10" JL Audio W1 Sub. 7) So basically,... I have a few questions that need answered: a) Link me an amp or a few that are mid range.. like Kenwood , Alpine etc.. that will run 75watts x 2 and Work for let's just say a JL Audio 10" W1 sub. b) Given the MB Quarts I have are coaxial,.. and the speaker grills on the 350z are terribly restrictive.. any links to aftermarket grills that will fit in the 350z to let these speakers not be "muffled" ? c) Links to wiring kits if I choose to install myself. This is all really , really simple. I have the mids and highs already,.. I have the headunit installed already,.. I am only using 1 sub,.. JL Audio 10" w1 (or w0 if you guys say go for w0). I just need links to amps that will run these 3 speakers! (I want to run ONE amp.. there's no reason for my purposes I need to run multiple amps. A single amp can drive 2 70watt door speakers, and a single JL low end 10" sub.) Don't forget,.. What can I do about these restrictive factory grill/speaker covers in the door? Bound to be some cheap replacement or modification to existing ones to let the door speakers perform at their peak (No pods..) This is budget. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
