[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8829666, member: 674149"] Ahhh, I would think your focus should be on midrange. If that was me, for that amp and budget, find a good set of components with most of your remaining budget, and find a budget set of mids or even two ways for the rear channel. In a 4dr pickup, the rears aren't going to do much for the driver. They help fill the sound stage, and they make sure the rear passengers can hear, but if this is for you, the back seat should take a back seat to the front, (I'm frickin hilarious). The only other thing to consider is that amp is 125w x 4 ( = 500w). Then if its 85% efficient you are 500w / .85 = 588 / 14.4 = 40.8 amps. When you play that amp on full you are adding a 40 amp draw to your electrical. Most likely your battery is good, but your alternator is more likely to have trouble if its a smaller size. If you listen to it on full for hours, have on your AC, your lights, maybe something plugged into draw power, then upgrading electrical might be required. I personally believe that the big 3 will help just about everyone, and especially if you add amps. The wiring and tools might be something to factor in to the budget or decision (~$30-$80). [/QUOTE]
