[QUOTE="DejaWiz, post: 3324578, member: 569941"] That's going to depend on the equipment used as well as the install itself. I'm going to venture to say that a single set of Rainbow SLC 265 Kicks ($280 shipped) or CMX 265 Kicks ($330 shipped) on 2x200w rms will give your 2 sets of XR650CSi's ($250 each shipped online, or $400+ each at a local shop) on 75w rms each a serious run for the money ...all else being equal such as the vehicle, any eq'ing, etc. My advice to you, alz06: take the money you have budgeted for fronts and rears and buy the most speaker (and amp if you need one) you can just for the fronts with that combined money. Disconnect the factory rears and run it that way for a few weeks or more to get used to the soundstaging and imaging. If you still feel it's lacking, then plug the rears in off HU power. If it's still lacking, then start on the path to finding rear replacements and an amp. Take it in baby steps, as you might like the results of fronts and sub only so much that you need not go any further, thus potentially saving yourself a bit of money. [/QUOTE]
