[QUOTE="adhumston, post: 5813906, member: 564354"] Spend the money on a front stage. Look at brands like Morel, Dynaudio, Dls, Focal, Rainbow, ID, Hertz, Seas, etc... You can save quite a few bucks buying a used set. If you can make 6.5" comps work in front, you'll have a better midbass than 5.25". Better yet, go with one of the 8" midbass sets up front, or look at some of the 3 way sets. You can find a good used high quality component set under $400 rather easily if you take your time. If you really want rear fill, just run a decent co-axial powered of the HU (but you'll probably fade it to the front 95% of the time anyway). A far as amps go, again look for good mid/high end amps. Some brands that come to mind are Arc Audio, DLS, Audison, McIntosh, JL Audio, US Amps, Alpine, Brax, Helix, Genesis, Sinfoni, etc... To simplify things, you could run a 3/4/5 channel amp and power both the sub and front stage off the same amp. If you're going for strictly SQ, there's usually no need for more than one sub. A few popular "SQ" subs are ID IDQ series, JL W6 series, DLS Ultimate subs, CDT subs, Focal 27/33KX, etc... If you would take these speakers....
