Need Help for Buying Speakers*I dont know much about this stuff*

Hi, I need help buying some speakers and an amp as well. I don't know that much about this stuff, but I just bought some 12 inch kickers in a case and I would like to buy an amp that is from the 100-250 dollar range and good speakers. Could anyone refer me to some.

Thanks

What size speakers? Coaxs or Comps?

6 inch speakers for the front 6" (round) and then 6 by 5 (oval)

do you mean 5x7 oval?

I don't know the difference between Comps and Coax and it might be that size. I dont know. Should it be that size?

Comps: Mids/Tweets are separate, and include a external crossover

Coax: Mids/Tweets all in one

Depends on your vehicle. Common oval speaker sizes are 4x6, 5x7, 6x8, and 6x9.

Coaxial: has integrated tweeter

Component: had separate midwoofer and tweeter

I have a saturn sl 2 (1995). I would like the coaxial ones.

I would like the coaxial ones.

100% positive on coax? Just want to make sure you are aware of the huge differences between the two.

Yes, and from what I've read Focal's are good, but if you know better that are in the 60-100 price range that would be great.

Coax: Pioneer REVs would be right up your alley.

Amp: Kicker KX650.4

Sub: PPI PCX122

Use channels 1 and 2 of the amp for the REVs, bridge channels 3+4 for the sub. Leave the factory rears in powered off the HU if you want rear fill, or disconnect them altogether as you might like the soundstaging and imaging advantages of front stage only (this is merely preference).

If this setup doesn't sound appealing to you, let me know what changes/ideas you have.

You should also browse the for sale section and see what deals you can find there.

x2^^^^

The REVs are real nice coaxials

I think I only have a 2-channel amp.

The 2 channel amp is all that's needed for the comps. What brand and model amp?

Are you planning to get or already have a sub stage?
