[QUOTE="SubaruFlamingo, post: 1484682, member: 565563"] Finally I am ready to purchase, and Im going the route of components up front powered by a 4 channel amp and in the future adding a sub powered by bridging the rear channels, all controlled by the alpine cda9856 HU that just came out. I was listening to speakers at a few different shops today, and a set of 6.5" Memphis components (not sure what model) sounded pretty good, and cost $299. This would be powered by either a 50Wx4 or a 75Wx4 Memphis amp for $289 or $399 respectively. My other option would be to go for slightly cheaper Alpine Type-R components which didnt sound as good to my ear, but I listened to them in a different shop. Would a non-audiophile really be able to tell the difference of sound depending on which amp was powering the Memphis ones? Also, there seems to be a great lack of information about the memphis speakers out there. I know they are supposed to be a good company and known for their amps, but just googling them yields an absence of information. [/QUOTE]
