[QUOTE="3v0, post: 7493235, member: 620573"] I signed up here almost a year ago and forgot I had an account. Time to use it, LOL. I recently bought an older acura CL. I want to upgrade the system but I have some guide lines. I want to keep the power to 600rms or under. The alternator is like 70-80amps and I hear you need to leave like 40% to run basic car electrical. I'm not spending money on another bat or a alt. I have about $400, up to 500, to spend. Things I have are.. Pioneer HU, 2 channel amp that makes 70 watts rms at 4 ohms and 120 at 2 ohms. Finally, a bunch of monster 4g wire. So that leaves the rest for speakers, mono-amp, and subwoofer. This is where I need help. Can you guys help me piece together a setup with the above guidelines? As for music I listen to, its 50/50. Rock and rap. So I'd like something that can play both well. Obviously this setup wont bring tears to an audiophiles ears, but I want it to be better than a stock setup. Just messing around myself, I've considered something like this: Boston S60 components SSA Dcon or wait and try the sundown SD line. Some kind of 300-400rms amp. Ideas? If you can save me money I'll love you forever. Before I forget, will I need to get mid-bass speakers for the rear? I hear most components dont play mid-bass so well. [/QUOTE]
