C'mon dude you know the drill, tell us what you're running. Amp, subs, ohm load, power/ground wire.

Lets hear it...

EDIT: You really dont need an amp on those speakers, your HU "should" be able to push them just fine with that kind of power limit.

Yea, its a good deal.

We can't help you because you've provided zero useful information. We don't know how big your current alternator is or how much power you're planning to run, so we can't recommend anything.

I'm going to be brutally honest about those Pioneer speakers you're thinking of powering too. They ****. I wouldn't even put them in my vehicle, let alone buy an amplifier to power them.

whats a good set for the cheap...i have heard good things about powerbass and ther cheap as well

So if you want 15's, why are you looking at a deal for 2 12's?

 

[C_james7 10+ year member]

price difference a new set of 15s would be 600+shipping and those would be 275 and i could sell the box as well

 

[Villeza1 10+ year member]

Well of course, they're the older models. They have been used and abused. You can risk getting them and easily breaking them or getting the 15's and be loud and happy. ^2u

As for power, you should upgrade your stock batt. How many amps is your alt output?

If I were you, I'd opt to buy a single pair of components rather than 2 pairs of coaxials. If you'll do that, you have several decent options for very little money.

Cheap: http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/rsd65cs.aspx

$100-ish: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Rockford-Fosgate-T152S-5-1-4-Component-Speakers_W0QQitemZ400098203150QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Speakers?hash=item5d27b6160e

Either way, you'll at least have a pair of speakers that're worth amping...

to be honest i am not sure and cant find it on google for the short minute i looked, waht kind of batt up front should i get? i believe 80a tho

 

[C_james7 10+ year member]

will those fit my car? the backs are 6x9s and the fronts are 5 1/4 and i apologize of my noobness

 

[misfit138 5,000+ posts]

The RF comps I linked are 5.25"s and the PGs are 6.5"s. The RFs should fit no problem and the PGs will require slight modification (mounting rings most likely)...

Kinetik Hc1800 will work plus the HC800 in the back should be enough to power that amp. although you really dont need it, I'd upgrade your alt anyway b/c it will help the system and the car's performance and more power wont hurt either. Just gotta be ready to dish out the cash for a reliable/ durable alt.
