[QUOTE="2Gemini, post: 6286123, member: 614126"] I appreciate all the replies so far. I'm learning quite about people's preferences here and value the opinions. So thank you. After spending [I]much[/I] time comparing the PGs to other higher priced speakers, I have to say that 90% of the owners are very impressed with them. Many who have been seriously into car audio for some time. However, as mentioned, the tweeters may not be the best out there but considering the price and that I'm relatively new to car audio (beyond going to the local wal-mart and picking some speakers out there) I doubt I will notice what the tweets are missing. Also, compared to my stock speakers I've always had, I'm sure the difference will be night and day. Now, since I don't always have the stereo at full tilt, the front speakers are pointed roughly at my shins, and I do like the sound of rear fill; I will be purchasing 2 sets. For the price of these, I think it would still be a good investment and not too much of a waste. [B]This brings me to my next two questions:[/B] Given the placement of the front door speakers (low on the front side of the doors pointing directly at my shins) Would the best placement for the PGs be back in the doors and have the tweets mounted up higher by the pillar or dash? OR relocate them to kick panels on the floor pointing back up towards the driver and passenger? Next, since the PGs are rated at a rms of 60 watts @ 4 Ohm and I will be running two sets, it should look something like this? rms 60*2 =120 peak @ 4 Ohm so 120*4=480 peak @ 4 Ohm So the amp for the front stage should have a RMS Continuous Power rating of at least 480 watts across 4 channels? I'm interested in how to calculate for an amp without coming up too short on my power needs or on the other side getting one too powerful and blowing the speakers. As you can tell math is not my strong point [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Thanks again [/QUOTE]
