[QUOTE="bugflipper, post: 7582297, member: 621756"] Just a few things to think about. If you are in a location that has ac hookup. I would recommend a home audio surround sound system. Amplifiers generally have a big amperage draw. In most cases the engine needs to run so the alt can keep the battery up. If you are forced to use 12v. You may want to look into a high sensitivity, low power subwoofer. Maybe you could get by with a 150-300 watt amplifier in that case. Likewise you can search for the same in component speakers. Some list sensitivity as spl in the specs. You could go with maybe a 50x2 amp for them. You really should comment on what your expectations are. Just something to listen to? Sound quality oriented? Tight accurate bass? Droaning bass? Rock generally does not have a lot of bass. So displacement would be your friend in a low power setup. You also need to give dimensions of what size enclosure you are able to fit in the space. A budget will also be helpful. [/QUOTE]
