New guy here.... need system reccomendations

I've heard these cars are excellent for rear deck IB installs(Infinite Baffle) have you considered that route? Might save you space and it sounds better than sealed too.

I'd spend the extra 100 bucks and get that DRZ but that's me. Eclipse's don't have great build quality.

For front speakers if you're going to go active I'd say the Seas Nextel 7" Mids (155 each) and the Seas Lotus Reference tweeters 110 each.

Forget rear speakers. They'll pull the soundstage back anyways. Just saved yourself 300 bucks too. (seriously, you don't need them)

For an amp, the MB Quart QAA4250 is 425 on ebay from ikesound. That's a 2,000 dollar amp, 4 x 250 watts rms. Use that on the front mids and tweets, then get a QAA1000 (390 plus shipping) another 2K MSRP amp. 1,000 watts rms @ 2/4 ohm Class AB //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

OK.

Lets say i wanted to go with this setup.

Headunit: Eclipse 8455

Front Components: Boston Acoustics Pro 60 6.5"

Rear Coax: Boston Acoustics SL95 6x9

Subs: 2 12" Eclipse SW9122 Titaniums

The total for all that will be around $ 1760

Can anyone reccomend a 4 channel for the speakers and a 2 channel for the subs, preferably under 1500, ideally under 1000.

Would my 4 channel alpine be enough to power the speakers temporarily until i can buy another 4 channel, if thats teh case, i can get a more powerful 2 channel for the subs, and wait a few months and get a better one for the speakers.

Should i forget teh rear speakers? It doesnt feel right not having them...i mean, the holes are there for a reason.
