[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8868034, member: 674149"] What I would do is include a 4 ch amp for those doors. Something small and simple that is 4x100w RMS and you can dial it down to about 60-70w per channel. Spend about $100 on it, and he should get plenty of volume that way out of it, and if he decided to ever upgrade those speakers, 100w should be pretty good. You can play them off that head unit, but they will only play about 2/3rd the volume they are capable of. Don't expect that powered sub to do anything but maybe add to sound quality. It won't give any bass that you would feel, and it's hard to say if a teenager(? or early 20s) is going to think that's adequate. If you really wanted to spend some time, you could see what prefabbed enclosures are available for your vehicle. See what size speakers could be used, and see what an upgraded alternator would cost. --- OF COUSE, With that SM2, you wouldn't need to spend that money or time. The Big 3 wouldn't be required, but should be helpful, especially if he wants to do more. Something you could do before that. [/QUOTE]
