[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8254353, member: 614752"] I also have a soft spot for the old multichannels, but it's getting to the point where a lot of the good ones are so old that electrolytic caps are likely going to fail prematurely. A/D/S, PPI, PG, Soundstream, and Fultron were in their prime in the 90's! Also, with space as a premium a modern full range class D solution would be best. I would suggest measuring to see exactly how much space you can give up for a box and planning around the space rather than trying to cram as much cone area as you can into your space and budget. You'll likely not overpower a high quality single 10 with your budget or goals and in a proper box it would outperform a couple entry level 10's, last longer, and hold better resale value down the road if things change for you. I like a multichannel amp but the good ones are not cheap and may lack flexibility. Furthermore money spend on rear speakers is a terrible waste. A far better investment would be putting that money into deadening up front and higher quality components in the front. Turning your car into an acoustic nightmare with mids and highs coming from behind you for the sake of 3dB (maybe) is impractical IMO, even more so if on a budget and you're cheaping out all around for the sake of just stuffing something in all the factory holes..
