[QUOTE="The Tall Man, post: 194445, member: 547685"] Kind of long post, please bear with me (newbie here)... I am thinking about below setup for my car - good multi-channel amp form my car (5 channel) - pair of good speakers for front, probably components w/ crossover; maybe reuse stock rears - single 10" or 12" sub for the back 1.) What are some good 5 1/4" component speakers? I'll probably get 60-75 RMS to drive each 2.) If you have really good fronts (e.g. above) and a sub, do you really need the rears? People talk about "back fill"- is it needed? I did 4X55 RMS for STOCK fronts/rears in my other car + 2X90 for 8" subs and like that sound. Can I do as well with e.g. 2X75 component fronts and e.g. 200X1 to a 12" sub? 3.) What is a good 12" sub? How much does dual-coil matter? I guess I'd like to run at 4 ohm to avoid any kind of heat/stability problems at 2, but I want it to be loud enough. 4.) If I can arrange space in my truck properly, would two amps be better (a 4 ch and a good 1 or 2 channel). I don't think it is too much more $$ and if 4 ch has preamp out, it is pretty easy to setup. I don't know about fader + R/L control, though. TTM [/QUOTE]
