I think you'd still be better off with a single, higher end component set than two sets of those. If ~$70 is your budget, check these out: Phoenix Gold RSD65cs. Easily one of the most popular sets of budget component speakers on this forum, and they love power (there are TONS of reviews here and over at DIYMA if you don't believe me). If you set the high pass filter on the amp to 80-90hz, and bridge the amp to send the set the whole 320watts per channel, you'd be pretty amazed.

Ok, so if I get 2 sets the Phoenix Gold RSD65cs's and the DSC480 amp then that would be pretty good? Or should I upgrade to the DSC4125 amp if I plan on doing this?

4125 if you're dead set on running two sets of those components.

RSD's are a nice set of speakers, I ran them for a short while. I also have an amp that im sure you would be interested in. I have a dsc 2150, it would power a set of RSD's if you dialed the gains down or a bigger set later on down the road. pm me if your interested. I could do 100 shipped.

something like

Phoenix Gold RSd6 RSd 6"/ 6.5" 2-way Car Audio Speakers - eBay (item 290437160481 end time Jun-18-10 19:48:15 PDT)

this will be fine for the rears, its just fill like i said no need for components

 

[Bennieficial 10+ year member]

ok, so i should get Phoenix Gold RSd6 RSd 6"/ 6.5" 2-way Car Audio Speakers - eBay (item 290437160481 end time Jun-18-10 19:48:15 PDT) for the rears, and RSD65cs - Phoenix Gold 6.5" Component Speaker System for the front. Now which amp do u recommend? And should I hook this amp to my capacitor? Or it doesn't really matter since it doesn't draw anywhere near as much power as my mono amp for my subs?

Little OT, but have you heard those Cadence comps? Looking at getting some for a buddy, that or RSDs...

The Cadence have a higher sensitivity...

 

[Bennieficial 10+ year member]

ok, it's finally coming together. So far I've bought the DSC4125 and Phoenix Gold RSd6 RSd 6"/ 6.5" 2-way Car Audio Speakers - eBay (item 290437160481 end time Jun-18-10 19:48:15 PDT). Now I just need the component speakers. Still did bring up a good point, the CADENCE CWM6-KIT ALUMINUM ALLOY 6.5" COMPONENT KIT - eBay (item 290439613402 end time May-30-10 15:19:42 PDT) appear to be better (from what I know lol) than the PHOENIX GOLD RSD6CS NEW 6" COMPONENT SPEAKERS RSD 6CS - eBay (item 120566989713 end time Jun-06-10 17:19:23 PDT) and cost the exact same. Should I go with the cadence comps instead?
