Speaker Amp choice help

[Timothy Wright]

I made a post but I have no clue and what I really want or need. To start I want to replace my 20+ year old 12"subs,. And I want to add some 2-way 6x9". I will be tapping into existing door speaker wire for signal to a line out converter.

Question 1. Should I be saving money?? and using my existing 2 Channel Amp, 2ch LOC for the 6x9's, and then buy a new loc and amp for the 12"s
Question 2. If you just had free reign to pick new parts... what would you buy? I think I want 300RMS 12"sub 100 RMS 6x9.. is that a lot of power!?
So let Christmas come early and I'll buy it all.

Please someone just tell me what I will like.

I went with 80 RMS nominal power 6 x 8 speakers, with 300 RMS peak. I went with 400 RMS subs with 800 RMS peak. I like my music loud, but turning my volume up to halfway makes the windows vibrate. Unless you want to wake up the neighborhood, you should be fine with your plan.

I'd look into buying a Audio Control LC6i instead of multiple locs. There are amps with high level inputs also.

No such thing as too much power if you know what you're doing.
