[QUOTE="Ringwood, post: 5795808, member: 608987"] I am hoping to stay around $300. I'm not looking for the best thing money can buy but I got all of my audio components for free that I'm currently using. From looking around, $300 isn't going to get me a whole lot. I actually have another Kenwood HU, and I think a SONY, and something like panasonic or pioneer HUs. I'm hoping I can use what I have. Does the deadener serve any purpose besides keeping the sound inside? I'm driving a Jeep wrangler with a soft and sometimes no top. Ok. My HU, stock, puts out 45Wx4. Theoretically, if I bought 4 speakers that were 40W, what would happen? What if they were like 150 watt? RMS Watts: is that the same watts as listed in item descriptions? From reading, I believe there are two type of watts and RMS is the one that matters. Do you mean off of the 4 channel head unit or the 4 channel amp? When you mean bridging, is that basically splicing two channels together? I'm assuming that would double the output power then? I'm not too concerned about ideal, I'm more concerned about what will work with what I have. If bridging is using two channels to power one sub is the same thing as okie was talking about, you're suggesting I should run two "comps" and one sub? I think the amp I have outputs 4x100W, or two at 150W. So I guess I would be getting 100W to the two front speakers and 200W to the sub, right? Will the be enough juice to get good sound? I figure it will be an improvement over 2x45. Thanks for the replies so far guys. Ipswich. It's near Gloucester. [/QUOTE]
