[QUOTE="oldskool79, post: 8422040, member: 664326"] I am installing a new stereo in my daughter's car, and I have some ideas in mind. I have a budget of around $1500. My head unit will be a Pioneer DEH-80PRS. I haven't picked out the amps or speakers yet. Here's what I've looked at so far, but don't know if it'll work. Just a little note: I live in a very hot climate, and there's not enough room inside the car for amps so they'll likely have to go in the small trunk. So far: Infinity Primus PR6500CS 6-1/2" component speakers for the front doors (3 ohm) JBL GTO638 6-1/2" 3-way speakers for the rear deck (2 ohm) As you can see the impedance rating is different for these speakers. Should I go with a single 4-channel amp, separate 2-channel amps for these, or do you think the head unit would put out enough wattage to drive them? I will also be adding a sub, maybe two, with about 400 watts total. She loves to hear the full range of sound with good thump, but not overpowering (although "feeling" it is good, lol). I should be able to get a high quality sound in her car on a $1500 budget..., right? I'm open to any and all suggestions, and I don't want the amps to overheat. [/QUOTE]
