Okay here we go

I'm looking for some new door speakers (preferably components) and an amp.

Looking to spend around 500-600$ in total for 2 sets of comps and a amp

Later im gonna go back and throw some dynamat door kits on. ( let me know if this is possible after i've installed everything, i just found out about these today )

Door speakers i was considering one of the four, but i'm always up for better suggestions:

1. Alpine Type R SPR-17s

2. CTX65CS - Image Dynamics 6.5"

3.MB Quart PVI 216

again i'm always up for suggestions...

I have a few amps i pulled up. I know there are a lot of good amp companies out there but i just feel negligent about purchasing an overpriced POS and feeling ripped off. This is definitely where i need some help..

Again i picked a few, lets say "well known" brands out :

1. ROCKFORD T600-4

2. Alpine PDX-4.100

3. Kicker ZX650.4

Again, i'm looking for ideas so it doesnt have to be any of these amps.. or speakers for that matter.. But i cant really go above 600$ which kinda sucks, because if i had around 800 to work with i could get some pretty wicked stuff lol.

I wanted the sundown amp but its 375 and i would only be able to get 1 set of doorspeakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ive heard good things of them

ANYWAYS please feel free to help me

oooh yea i have 5.25's in the front and 6.5's in the rear. I was thinking about getting a matching set since most components come in both sizes of basically the same product.

How hard is it to change your door speaker holder size to 6.5 from 5.25

Does it matter from car to car.. I drive a 4 door gmc sierra if it matters...

okay well i guess im just gonna get the alpine type r doorspeakers, i havent found a bad review on them yet. Ill probably just order the rockford fosgate amp with them, i have yet to get a cheap or bad product from RF in the past

You need to research some more home slice

Look Into DD, they make really good componets from what i Hear. The best key is research. There are alot of good brands out there and you can get very quality comps for 100+ just depends on your taste.

i want to get the image dynamics but i don't know how to change my 5.25 speakers slots to 6.5's. they only come in 6.5's. how much would it cost me to get a audio shop to do that?

Use a spacer ring on the doors or get some baffles to make the 6.5" fit, well worth the time and effort. The 6.5" will have better sound and more midbass.

Get the ID CTX65cs and a Cadence Cadence Daytona series DCA4100 amp. This combo would fall right in your price range and sound excellent.

The DCA4100 has a really nice built in crossover network and super solid.
