[QUOTE="katodevin, post: 2490409, member: 572271"] I have just started to get into this crazy hobby of car audio, here's what I have so far. Focal Access 6.5 components up front Pioneer p880prs Right now I'm running the Focal's off of the head unit. I've dampened and sealed the front doors using Raamat and ensolite along with the dynamat diffuser pad behind the 6.5 inchers. So far I am happy with my setup, my only complaints is that I would like a bit more bass without having to go as far as to add a sub unless I have to. I figured that I would like to get new rear speakers anyway, so I am planning that option before I resort to getting a sub. So, my next step is to add rear deck speakers, and an amp. This brings me to my rear deck question. I would like some more bass in the car, I don't need subwoofer type punch, but a bit of "felt" accurate bass would be nice. Is this possible through speaker selection of the rear deck? I understand that 6x9 speakers would add more bass, but since they are oval, and can distort, I am very wary of going that route. SQ and clarity are very important to me. I took a gander at the CDT CL-69X set: [URL="http://www.cdtaudio.com/6x9_series.htm"]http://www.cdtaudio.com/6x9_series.htm[/URL] But I'm not sure if a 6x9 would be right for me. Is there any "bassy" 6.5 inch component sets that I can get? I would like to keep the set under 250 dollars. Also, in terms of the amp, I would like a good SQ 100watt x 4 channel amp to run all 4 corners of my car so I can retain foward/rear fading. Should I expect cleaner bass from my focals after adding the external amp? I would like for the amp to be under 300 dollars if possible. Any reccomendations? Thanks in advance for helping out a n00b.
