[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 5744478, member: 594758"] IMO, If you interested in SQ, you should get the best 6 1/2" componenet 2 way speakers you can afford for you front doors. "Component" means a set of seperate tweeter, 6 1/2" woofer and an external crossover device for each of your front doors. Look at Boston Acoustics, Morel and Focal. Spend liberally on this item, skimp on other parts of the system. Dynaudio's are great if you can afford them. Get a decent, but not too expensive amp for them in thier power range or slightly more powerfull than they are rated for. Two 10" subs will be easier to get the thump you want when you do want to get loud. There are many brands and models. Look around, don't blow your budget on them, even cheap or mid priced models will work well. Get just one amp for the subs that will provide enough power for both at thier combined ohm load. You don't need 2 amps just for subs. One sub amp, one front stage amp. Any Alpine that has the features you want will be great. Don't blow your budget on this item either. You will also need decent power wire, either 4 gauge or 0 gauge depending on how big your amps are, and learn to wire the Big 3. Front door 6 1/2" componet speakers (called front stage) and quality installation (by you or proffessionally) is where you should blow your budget. Skip the rear speakers. Read lots of threads here and other forums to learn what is needed for a good install and read review of gear before you buy. [/QUOTE]
