[QUOTE="evamodel00, post: 8188391, member: 658558"] Hey all I just had a quick question to ask you since I just purchased everything for a new system, and am on the fence about rear speakers. I used to have a Honda accord which had a decent sized cabin, but really not too crazy big. Anyways, I had a pair of 6.5'' polk audio DXI components up front, and a 12'' polk subwoofer in the rear. The speakers sounded amazing however I really felt like I was playing them "Too loudly". I don't blast my speakers so loud that the whole neighborhood can hear them, but I do crank it up when I play one of my favorite songs. Anyways, I felt like they got a bit distorted when I turned them up. The front speakers and amp were all powered by a 4-channel soundstorm amp. I forget the exact power output, but it wasnt a real expensive amplifier. Anyways, my new system is: Polk Audio MM 6501 component 10'' champion pioneer subwoofer in a sealed box. Both of these will be powered by a polk audio PAD4000 class D amplifier. I planned to use each component to 1 amp channel and then bridge the subwoofer to the remaining 2 channels. (This is all in a mitsubishi lancer which has a smaller cabin than my accord did) So I guess my question is, would these components be able to put out some big sound without the risk of damaging them? Or, would you recommend me getting a pair of non-components for the rear doors as well to get the fill? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the staging of only having the front speakers, but I don't want to risk damaging the MM components by cranking the volume. Another one of the reasons why I think that my DXIs stopped sounding so fantastic was because I raised the bass level on my head unit. I really like the thump thump that you get from the woofers, and maybe the DXIs just couldn't handle it. I have heard that the MMs put out great woofer bass though. The 10'' sub that I got I really just want it to create a full sound. I would have gotten a 12'' but I wanted to conserve space. Any opinions? Thank you very much. -Dan [/QUOTE]
