[QUOTE="Ringwood, post: 5805182, member: 608987"] First of all, thank you for finding those subs for me. That's a really great price. I actually have another thread so I forgot to mention a couple things. It's a 91 Jeep wrangler, so there isn't a lot of space. Right now, I'm planning on using the amp I currently have and run four speakers off of it: 2 4x6 coaxials (in the dash), and two component speakers somewhere else. I may purchase an empty sound bar and put the component speakers in myself or I may make a sound bar. If I don't go the sound bar route I will make a couple small boxes that mount above the rear wheel wells. When I have a job over the summer (just got laid off), and have more money, I will get a subwoofer and an amp for the subwoofer itself. It seems more logical than to try to exploit every available resource out of the current amp I have. When I get the subwoofer, I will make the box myself. The only "custom" boxes for my Jeep YJ cost an arm and a leg and since I'm a carpenter I'll be fine. I was wondering about wiring. Apparently it's expensive too. I have looked at a bunch of sites and cannot find audio wiring. Looking through the Owners manual for my amp, it said something like 4-6 gauge wiring from the battery and ground. Do I need special car audio wiring, or can I go out, but the components myself and solder the connections on myself? If I get a nice 4 speaker set up, without the sub, at 50 watts RMS, and then I put in a sub at more than 50 watts RMS, would the subwoofer overpower the rest of the audio? And could someone recommend me quality brands? Just looking through the component speakers on one of the links from the home page (caraudio.com), there are a lot of speakers at 50 watts RMS, ranging from $40 to a couple hundred dollars. I have learned that I get what I pay for, but are some companies just raising the price because they are a bigshot company? [/QUOTE]
