[QUOTE="blackwing, post: 8330868, member: 663749"] Possible Setup: Pioneer DEH-X6600BT = 105.99 Polk Audio DB6501 6.5" Component= 119.99 Polk Audio DB691 6"x9" Coaxial - 86.98 Pioneer GM-D8604 Amplifier = 135.95 Rockville RWK42 4 Gauge Complete Amplifier Kit (2 sets of RCA) = 42.95 I got those parts right from Amazon's bestseller/recommended list. The speakers size are compatible with my car (I think). I've no idea about car audio and found this place. I was fine with my stock setup, until a year ago when the rear speakers died. I though that I'm still okay with only the front speakers since they are still loud enough for me to appreciate the music but a week ago I started having issues with the volume. Even if I crank it up to 100%, I can barely hear anything. I thought maybe the head unit's amplifier died or something. And now, I decided to move on and get a new set with a little bit of upgrade in sound quality. Do you think the parts above are compatible? Did I match each of their interface/connections? They amount to almost 500 but my budget is just 400. I'm just a casual listener. Maybe cheaper speakers or amplifier that is a bit less of a performer from above? Can you guys suggest a better combination so that I won't go over my budget? The Polk Audio speakers' rated RMS is 100w for each channel (according to Polk's site), my stock is just 50w. Would I benefit from the additional wattage? I usually only set the volume at 40-45% at the most on my stock speakers. Also, can the amplifier handle the speakers? If I don't crank the volume up, would the speakers sound how they should? Would I hear their full potential? Is the head unit good enough? I need ipod connection and bluetooth. Regarding the ohms thing, is there anything I need to take into consideration? Really need help! [/QUOTE]
