[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8183366, member: 560148"] Your running stock speakers right now off of maybe 10-15 watts of power. If you think your going to "feel" any speaker with only 10-15 watts of clean output, your crazy. Your running a sub off of 1000 watts of output in a car where it gets an extra 20-30db of gain. Your not going to keep up with that without adding an amp to aftermarkets, sorry to rain on your parade. You went to the trouble of doing a sub, sub box, getting a large amp for the SA (600-800 watts would have been sufficient in most cases) and now when you need to add another 100-200 watts it's all too much? Really? Figure out your priorities. If all you do is blare rap all day and the speakers can be heard over your sub stick with it. If your looking for louder, more detailed sound and listen to things that actually have midrange and midbass, then your going to have to pony up for the extra cash and labor. Anyway, I've always like ID speakers at almost all their price points. See if you can find some CTX speakers, even the coax's are good and might do what you want. They have great midbass if you do some door treatments and the tweets are laid back like you said you liked, cant' see the tweet being harsh in a door down lower especially. I'd do one set of speakers. A single $200 set will sound better than 2 $100 sets. It will also get just about as loud. I think you'll be happier that way. The ID's run around 120ish new, but perform great for that price bracket. Midbass wise they aren't much worse than the XS mids I used to run which is a $700 component set, just worse mids and highs, pure midbass was nearly identical! Regardless, That leaves you with another 80ish for an amp. If you can give them a real 100 watts/channel or thereabouts they should really impress you. [/QUOTE]
