[QUOTE="88xj, post: 7696870, member: 640728"] Hey guys, I'll be honest, I don't understand car stereo systems much! I'm looking to upgrade my setup in my mid sized SUV though. Currently I have 4, 5 1/4" Sony Xplodes. And a Alpine CDE-102 head unit. (18 watts RMS CEA-2006/45 peak x 4 channels) I have no idea what that last bit means, but I figured it'd useful to post it lol. I have 2 speakers in my front doors, and 2 in my rear hatch.
