[QUOTE="Kor, post: 5881738, member: 582243"] Hi Everyone! Thank you in advance for the already helpful advice. I noticed some companies sell 3 way components that would seem to fit, E.g. Focal 165.VR3 or CDT 642 Not better than a 2 way component? Simple is maybe better for me? My car is a Porsche Cayman and although it is a fine car to drive, the acoustics inside are terrible. The car is tiny and cramped so the speakers do not have good positions. Tweeters high up on the dash, mid-ranges are low on the doors. I just want to do the best I can with stock speaker locations. Is it bad to have too much power to the components? Should they be rated to handle the same as my amp puts out? Less? More? Thanks to your advice I am leaning towards a 2 way component set, plus a 2 channel amp (150 w/ch @ 4ohm) plus a 10" sub and a monoblock amp for the sub. Lastly I have a question. For a 2 way or 3 way component package that comes with a crossover. Do I need 1 channel of amplification for each side (2 channel amp) or 1 channel of amplification for each speaker (4 channel amp for 2-way components, 6 channels for 3-way components). [/QUOTE]
