Got my Deck, now I need my Amp, and speakers.

Hey just want to say this is my first post, and hopefully you guys can help me out.

So I have a 06 RSX Type S.

I purchased a kenwood 5160 already, and that is being shipped to me.

Now, I was told that all I need for my car is two front speakers because the RSX is so small, and that as long as I get component it will have amazing sound quality.

Do you guys agree with that?

I need to get 6.5" speakers, I dont mind paying extra for a brand name.

I'm looking to spend no more than like 300 on the pair of speakers.

These were the ones I was looking at - Elemental Designs

Now, I am going to need an amp. Those speakers are 100W RMS.

But I want to get a 4CH amp, because I may be getting a 10" sub in a few months for my car. So if I get a 4CH amp I can bridge the last two channels for the sub, correct?

I am looking for an amp that has no less than 600W total output power.

I will spend around 300 on the amp aswell.

Any idea's? So with the Amp + Speakers I can spend around $550.

300 budget for two 6.5's? That's a little much, you can get them way cheaper than that....

Thats the thing I have no idea about this stuff at all.

Im just looking for good quality, and nice loudness.

you could do some Crescendo Audio 6.5" components and front and rear, do an AQ4x90 to push them and get an AQ HDC10 and push it with an AQ1200D.

So I should get 4 speakers instead of 2?

Also if it helps I listen to a lot of rap, and sometimes rock.

I cant afford those at all... Sadly.

Heard nothing but good about these- Phoenix Gold RSd6.5 (rsd65) - 6-1/2" Speakers - Sonic Electronix

Kenwood KAC-8404 (kac8404) - 4 Channel Amplifier | Four Channel Amp - Sonic Electronix

That should all fit in your budget....

What about these speakers? RSD65cs - Phoenix Gold 6.5" Component Speaker System

I would go with these......The ED's are nice but way too expensive....

I would go with these......The ED's are nice but way too expensive for my blood, would never pay that for door speakers.....

Sweet I'll get the RSD65Cs's. Should I do just the fronts?

 

[KidThump 10+ year member]

I would replace all stock speakers.....But you could try just replacing the fronts and see how it sounds.

 

[Rocketright 10+ year member]

So if I get the RSD's for the front right now, and get this amp - Kicker 08ZX650.4 (08zx6504) - 4 Channel Amplifier | Four Channel Amp - Sonic Electronix

How would that work? Would they blow since their only 60W RMS? I just want this so I can bridge 2CH for the Sub i might be getting and use the other 2 for my speakers.
