[QUOTE="barry_mann, post: 4579393, member: 593636"] i payed $120 for all of the speakers and $150 for the amp brand new. I thought i got a pretty good deal. The local audio shop wanted $399 for the amp alone. I figured i would start out simple and then slowly upgrade. this is just a work car so i dont want to put alot into it. What equipment should i have gotten for this price. please enlighten me. If i can return all of this and get something better please enlighten me! I was going to add a cpu fan since i read the 5 channel amps get hot really easy. I talked to MTX yesterday and they said it wouldnt be a problem, that these run cool but i figured just for safety sake. The main thing that concerns me is the watts are fine for the 6.5" speakers at 4 ohm's but the 6x9's need to be ran at 2 ohms and so does the sub. Would it hurt to run the 6.5" at 2 ohms or will they blow? My original plan was to run the 6.5" at 4 ohms and then the rest at 2 ohms but your answer 1 above changes that. [/QUOTE]
