[QUOTE="tunes, post: 2528090, member: 572821"] Can you do the install yourself or will you have to pay a shop? If you can do it yourself you'll have better options and will save money. In any case, I'd recommend looking at Phoenix Gold Xenon and RSD speakers, as well as Diamond. If you're looking to spend very, very little I'd say the Memphis PR components are pretty good for what they are, which are bottom of the barrel speakers designed to be listenable with radio power or less-than-decent amplification. As far as amps go, I'd recommend buying something used that won't take a dump on you after the first week of owning it. Maybe a phoenix gold Titanium 500.4 or Tantrum 600.4 - just stay away from their Octane or Xenon stuff. Maybe a JL. Memphis M Class are pretty good. I recall the guts on MB Quart amps looking nice for being made offshore, but I don't know how much they go for and have no experience with them. Do some research and see what amps today are the most bullet proof, since they all sound nearly identical. And yes, you definitely want an amp with built in crossovers. [/QUOTE]
