[QUOTE="thesethguy, post: 7995111, member: 649513"] So, to say the least, it's been about 7 years since I've touched or even thought about aftermarket car audio. It's time to install a nice system though, and I'm undecided on speakers. To start, I hope to use an old amp I have been keeping in storage (tested and still works). It's an [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-RbAa8caA0cB/p_108R7540A/Infinity-Reference-7540a.html"]Infinity Reference 7540a[/URL], approx 110w RMS per channel. I want to hook it up to 6.5's all around or 6.5's + 6x9 rear (all 2-ways). My budget is roughly $200-$300 for the speakers themselves, and I'll be getting a monoblock amp and sub outside of that budget. The goal is SQ. At the moment, I have picked out either the [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_15057_Focal-690-CVX.html"]Focal CVX[/URL] line of speakers or the [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13964_Infinity-Kappa-692.9I.html"]Infinity Kappa's[/URL]. They are only slightly different in price $110-$150 (SonicElectronix) and from what I've read on these forums, quite a few people highly recommend Focal. So I'm leaning towards Focal at the moment, but if anyone has an opinion, I'd love to hear it. My other question is, will the speakers be able to adequately handle the ~110w that the Infinity puts out, or would they have a difficult time? Would it be wise to look into other amp options? Thanks! Seth [/QUOTE]
