[QUOTE="fbi90909, post: 5206131, member: 568679"] question: what is your budget? i see that you have something in mind but overall the quality of the products that you are looking for to me are ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ya know? there is a saying, "You get what you pay for." now i'm not telling you to go big or go home, but you may need to step up a little more. now to the nitty gritty. the 6.5component speakers you are talking about have that little box which is a crossover. it basically splits your single speaker run set for your stock speaker/coax and splits it to a midrange and tweeter. 1 input - 2 designated output. a lot of people recommend getting components. if you get components be sure you have a location for tweeter placement. if you don't you may end up having to cut a nice hole into your door panel or sails.. as for the speaker themselves i know little of the brand/type and have no experience with them. i'm sure someone can give you more input on that. for head unit you pretty much got 2 reliable brands. i have used pioneers and alpines and am currently on an alpine. i run a 9887, which has ipod control, and is SAT ready. another good thing is with the 9887 you can run an active setup, which is recommended by many on this forum. running active is having more control over your audio setup in all the frequency ranges using a set of components. if you invest in a solid pair of components and get a headunit capable of running an active setup you will be able to fine tune how you want your system. much to learn in that area though. as for subs this also depends on what you are looking for really. are you looking for sound quality? or do you just want to be louder than the next guy?
