[QUOTE="req, post: 492045, member: 555713"] if i were you i would get a class a\b amp to power your fronts and rears (4 speakers = 4 channels) that is like 200-400 w. and if you get an amp that is, for sake of explination- 400w, get speakers that will use that powerl. RMS (rated max- ie, continious power) power that is, not max power. so there are many choices for amps like this. ask somone who knows "what kind of 4ch amp should i get for front and rear speakers?" as for your HU, whatever.. thats fine as long as it has pre-outs for your SUB\FRONTS\REARS ... and you will be all set. as for your sub. i would suggest about 400-500w like he said up there. go get yourself a 10" or a 12" mediocre sub- and a little classD amp for it. go ask the question "im looking for 400-500w in a sub\amp combo. not too expenisve, i mostly listen to rock, i just want good sound quality, what should i get?" other than that, its all up to you. those are just starting points that you need to look into. find out what people would suggest for your $800 budget. divide it (after you ask people the costs and find out some price ranges) into SUB\AMP and COMP\AMP and then state those. i would say its gonna be like 60\40 SUB\COMP on the prices. i would imagine a nice 400w class D amp costing a bit more than a a\b 200-400w amp IMO. i have a rockford fosgate 351m that is a mono classD amp and i have 2 kenwoods (350rms @4 ohms) so i got 175 running to each sub. for rock, this hits plenty hard. would only cost you a bit too. i got the amp for like $80~100 and the 2 10's with a box for ~$100. id imagine that gives you plenty of money for components. sub- 10"(1 or 2) or 12"(1) ~300-500watts amp- 300-500w MONO classD components- im not too keen on these, but 6.5 front, 6x9 rear about ~100-150w a piece comp amp- 4 channel ~400w class A\B thats my 2cents. good luck man... i dont know WHAT kind of stuff you should get, but there is a starting point, now ask people with more expierence to recommend stuff =) [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/angel.gif.fa7795fff6653f4381ba158c55a48b74.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
