[QUOTE="Gary S, post: 1899893, member: 568291"] My original post was more of a general starting rules... I listed power as the number two most important thing for improving a stock system or for a new system because of so many newbie posts day after day after day, trying to buy expensive speakers just to run full range off their head unit power... A biamped subwoofer/satellite system with separate subs, amps, and electronic crossovers does so much more for a system... increases SPL, dynamic range, clarity several times over... and you can do it for about the same or not much more than the cost of the popular "unit and 4", a CD player and four coaxes. - Let's say you won a free component and component amplifier buying spree (subwoofers, CD players, head units, processors, accessories, and all other types of products are excluded), with no cap on price... you can buy any amps or speakers, as many as you want (if you can fit ten amps in your car and your charging system can handle it, buy them!), no mater how expensive. But, there is a catch... here are the rules: 1) You can only choose between two manufacturers. 2) You can only buy one type of product from each manufacturer. In other words, if you choose to buy component speakers made by "company A", you Must buy a "company B" amplifier. Conversely, if you want Company B components, you can't also buy a "company B" amp, you must buy an amp from the other manufacturer, "company A". 3) All equipment must be installed in your daily driven car, and you must keep the equipment in your car for one year (no, you can't buy the most expensive thing and sell it to buy something else... that would be cheating!). The two manufacturers you have to choose from are Rainbow and Pyramid. What amps and component speakers would you choose? [/QUOTE]
