[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7459873, member: 614752"] If you think you're going to have great sound by throwing money at elite snobophile equipment you're sadly mistaken. The key is in the hours of prep and tuning and tweaking. The most dominant factor of how a speaker performs is the room you put it in (or car in our case). You can either modify your car around the audio system or modify the audio system around the specific accoustic challenges of that car (or probably a combination of both). You should take a look at madisound.com for raw drivers. I've seen quite a few of the popular ones in action and I've heard some fantastic installs with the 600$ a pair stuff and the 50$ a pair stuff. SEAS and Scan Speak are two of the bigger hard-ons in the SQ scene, but Vifa makes some find drivers as do a few of the others. The good thing about most of these brands on there is that a lot of DIY guys use them for home and car and have some very critical reviews. If it were me doing a low powered build like that I'd look for one of the old school super limited edition multichannel amps (frank-amp-n-stein, original Route 66, etc.) I'm currently running the Zed Aduio Leviathan which I'd highly reccomend for a one amp solultion if you need that kind of power. Cliff notes: Shop madisound for components and plan to throw 20% of your budget into equipment, 50% into install, then have the other 30% left over to modify/tweak what you have until you're happy.
