[QUOTE="Alrojoca, post: 7831420, member: 638714"] Mmm based on the info I read and understand, you have 2 options: 1.Bridge the eclipse to have enough power to drive those jbl components since 40 watts @ 4 ohms is not going to give a good result with an 88 db spl component jbl set. Bridged you will give them about 120 watts each. Then get some efficient 6 1/2 drivers, maybe used from a broken component set, some with 92-93 db spl minimum, to have the HU drive them and give you louder sound, look into brands like Hertz dsk, infinity reference, even Polk db series, if you really just want good mid bass on the rear from the HU. 2. Get a set of very efficient clean sounding components, Hertz Dsk165, focals pulyglass, and just drive them with the eclipse unbridged with the 40 watts at 4 ohms, or get a set of JbL p660c, they are 2 ohms 93 db spl and will pull 60 watts @ 2 ohms from that eclipse. Then get the drivers just like in option 1 but drive them with the 40 watts to each of the rear channels with the eclipse, active xovers with the HU. Option 2 is better if you can afford it and to have full amplification, those Dayton drivers may work in the rear but they will need power and they are not so cheap by the pair, running tweeters of the HU means you will loose, the full range front channels, not a good idea unless the HU can run RCA s and speakers at the same time just for the front channels. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
