[QUOTE="Immortal, post: 4239326, member: 584048"] From what I have been reading component speakers are the way to go. What size of speakers and baffles should I use in my door hole? Money isnt too much of an issue since I am looking to use EBAY if possible but I want more powerful speakers. The higher the RMS the better. Fosgate makes two POWER 2-way component sets that run at 100 RMS with speaker sizes at 5.25 and 6.5in. Will these fit with baffles in my odd shaped slots? I assume this would not be in the low-mid power category so I suppose at least a small upgrade in amp size would benefit me. I like fosgate as I mentioned so even if I replaced it with a 2 or 4 channel at probably 400 watts (which seems to be the next size up) it probably wouldnt run me more than $200 on EBAY. You mentioned not wanting to underpower, would upgrading the amps (and speakers) overpower it? I mean other than price is there any reason not to upgrade the amp? No I said the 2 subs are wired series parallel so that there is just 1 wire (neg/pos) going to the mono output. Thusly the mono IS powering the subs and the speakers are powered by the 4 channel. "You'll want to bridge the 4-channel into 2-channels, giving you that "300w" (hehe) of power x2 @ 4ohms." I thought it already was? [/QUOTE]
