[QUOTE="Biker, post: 2753948, member: 566329"] OK I want to thank every one for the help, I am starting over and want to get this all right this time. I have had several amps and several different speakers but this is the latest configuration and the speakers are bad. Amp is rockford fosgate punch 8004 Front stage are diamond S600S 180Watts RMS Rear stage diamond 5 1/4" with tweeter in the speakers rated at 90Watt RMS From previous posts some of you may know that I was putting out about 3 VAC above the correct gain setting because my Kennwood HU with 5 V Pre Outs at max volume would not allow me to lower the output of the amp. In other words the Gains on all 4 channels were at the lowest setting so the only way to limit the signal to the speakers was to keep the HU at So with all that said I understand why my speakers are gone. I want to start over this time with the same amp and purchase new speakers and want the loudest sound I can get. I purchased 10Db attenuators so that my gains can be set correctly. My question is this. Being on some what of a budget say with around $250 to $300 for both front and back speakers. Without SQ being of the major factor what speakers set at the proper gain level would give my truck the loudest sound. If the answer is the same speakers I already blew then I can live with that. But if there are other options then I would be interested in hearing from you. For example. I can get C4 Audio components rated at 150 RMS under $100 shipped or Crystal S600S rated at 100RMS for $300. So whats up with that. Guide me in the right direction. Thanks Biker [/QUOTE]
