[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6230216, member: 611275"] The SLC's are an obvious upgrade as far as sound quality is concerned, and their $100 price difference came into play when I chose not to direct you towards them. I was just trying to keep your equipment budget moderately low. However, the SLX's aren't bad components by any means. Upgrading the front stage (your component speakers) and dropping the rear fill (your coaxials) will bring the soundstage to the front of your vehicle, thus making your music more lifelike. Component placement (tweeters in particular) is important as well. This is why lots of people go to great lengths in order to customize their component install. I originally listed the Rainbow coaxials for your rear speakers, but I never intended for them to be powered by an amplifier. I'm going to link a Crutchfield write-up on stereo imaging/sound staging to show you why I did this. Notice the section under ADJUSTING FOR REAR FILL. The writer says; " While personal taste plays a role here, most experts agree that you should adjust the volume level for rear speakers so that you're barely conscious of their presence". If you're not supposed to even hear them, then why bother with powering them at all, right? To take it even further, why buy them at all? Here's the article: [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-HcLbteaZTpg/Learn/learningcenter/car/speakers_imaging_soundstage.html"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-HcLbteaZTpg/Learn/learningcenter/car/speakers_imaging_soundstage.html[/URL] You can find more detailed recommendations elsewhere, but this should be a good place to start. Like has been said in this thead already; Car audio is not a cheap hobby. Throwing some subs and an amp into your vehicle is easy, but it takes a little intelligence, research and money in order to do things correctly. SQ setups are expensive, but there's no reason why you can't own a good one given your budget. Just keep asking questions and follow up the answers you get here with a little research. You'll have a much better understading of some of these basic aspects of the hobby before you know it... [/QUOTE]
