[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8471283, member: 650438"] Trust me, you would not want those rears in if you like listening to metal. There's a good bit of soundstage and imaging with metal songs and any sound in the back just kills all forms of sound quality that can be attained. You want some high quality front stage with woofer and tweeter and a quality amp. That amp's not good enough tbh. You want very strong midbass with metal so you'll want at least 100 rms to that rockford pro 8. I'd go with a modern head unit with proper sound adjustments if possible or else the whole system is not gonna sound good with that old tuner radio. Why? Because of Digital audio convertors and internal circuitry along with tuning options needed. They make a huge difference. If you get a head unit thats active capable, you can properly control and crossover your speaker choices which is a necessity for good sound and protected speakers. For 230 range you can buy some of the top of the line sound quality head units out there that will make your system sound amazing. I'd get some crescendo pwx 8s if you want something with stronger midbass and warmer sounding mids. Make sure to turn your door into a proper speaker enclosure by sealing up every huge gap or hole. This is very important for a metal listener. [URL="http://store.crescendoaudio.com/pwx-8-midrange-speaker/"]http://store.crescendoaudio.com/pwx-8-midrange-speaker/[/URL] And some nice smooth yet highly detailed tweeters in the A pillar or sail panels or the front dash location. [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/tymphany-xt25sc90-04-1-dual-ring-radiator-tweeter--264-1014"]http://www.parts-express.com/tymphany-xt25sc90-04-1-dual-ring-radiator-tweeter--264-1014[/URL] Much better amp for 300 [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27733_Massive-Audio-NX5.html"]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_27733_Massive-Audio-NX5.html[/URL] Fit the biggest sub you can fit. if you have 2.5- 3.0 cubic feet of space, do a pair of 12s or a single 15 sealed. 1.5-2.0 cubic feet, a pair of 10s. Metal doesnt have strong bass so you need the cone area to bring up the needed punch with more output and overall efficiency. An 8" wont get you there at all unless you design an advanced 1/4 wave t line enclosure which takes up a lot of room. Disregard the rear completely. Dont spend any money on it.
