[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 560747, member: 555320"] A 12" in front is perfectly fine, as a matter of fact I'm going to mount a single 12 upfront in my car aswell.........but running a 12" sub upfront with co-axials powered by the headunit is not the way to go [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] You'd probably want to spend ~$150-$200 on components, and then the remainder an a decent amp to power them. Since you are worried about the sound when having the top off, you will be fine running the stock rears off of the headunits power and then only using them as needed (fade all the way to the front the rest of the time), and maybe upgrade them from stock when you have more money with some "cheaply" priced co-axials ($50 or so), but for right now concentrate that money on the more important front speakers/amp. There are a ton of components in the $150-$200 price range, Resonant Engineering RE comps and the Peerless Definition, also check into brands like Focal, Diamond Audio, Boston Acoustics, Rainbow, Arc Audio, MB Quart........all of those brands will have good comps in your price range.
