Do these match?

I have been looking around to find a good set of door speakers.

I'll start by saying that I have

4x 6-1/2" door speakers

2x 6x9" rear speakers

Just browsing on my own, I've managed to put a list of things together and it ended up like this.

Hifonics TXi 6408 (amp)

Kicker KS60.2 (6-1/2" door speakers - component)(2 sets)

Sony CDX-GT530UI (headunit)

Lightning Audio Strike S4.69.3 (6x9 rear speakers - coax)(1 set)

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...e+S4.69.3.html

I do have a few questions about it though.

First off does it all work together? I'd be running the left door speakers parallel, the right door speakers parallel, and then the rear door speakers. Can the amp produce this much or is it too much?

Should I even worry about getting the rear speakers?

I've read someone that the front door speakers might be better than the rear door speakers; even though I have the same speakers for all door speakers, would it greatly impact the audio?

And I'm also wondering if I do have a good set of door speakers, would a sub be necessary. I want good SQ and I want it to get loud, but I dont need to shake the car next to me either .

I have about ~500$ to spend on the dooor speakers, head unit, and amp for the door speakers.

***** please note, I'm very new to this, try not to critisize too bad

Thanks for the help!

This is a mistake that lots of new car audio enthusiasts make. Why spend a big portion of your budget on speakers that go in the rear of your vehicle when the front stage is the most important thing in your audio system? Just because your vehicle has a place for 6 or more speakers doesn't mean you have to replace them all when "upgrading" your audio system.

You can purchase nice components for your front doors, a single 8" or 10" subwoofer for your trunk or hatch area and a 4 channel amplifier for power. The components can be powered by the 2 front channels of the amplifier, and the 2 remaining channels can be bridged to power the subwoofer. You can retain your stock rear door speakers (powered by the head unit) and remove the rear deck speakers entirely. Later on down the road, if you want, you can add inexpensive coaxials to your rear doors or rear deck, but it isn't extremely important.

Doing things this way allows more of your budget to be spent where upgrades are most needed (front stage, power and bass).

By the way, the links you provided don't work...

Gotchya.

So the 6/12" speakers do pair well with the amp?

And what would you recommend for a good (high SQ) sub?
