What speaker setup would you buy?

[6 Fingered Man]

As I may have mentioned, I have Alpine S-s75c speaker in the front and a Rockville RVT-1 amp on them.

In the back I have two sundown 10's and a Skar 1200w rms amp.

It's in a Chevy 2500 ext cab.

The front speakers just don't have the volume to keep up with the subs.

What do you guys recommend on a budget to throw in there?

Better amp?
New speakers?
Better amp and new speakers?

What gear?

I had thought of using the 1200w amp on the front speakers (would actually end up being 250w ea @4) and putting their 2000w on the subs.

Recommendations?

The alpine speakers are 80 watts rms each. You are already putting 95 rms each to them. So more power is not going to gain much. ( maybe nothing )
The answer is different speakers. Going to pro audio style midrange speakers may be the answer for you. Keep your tweeters and replace the 6.5’s.

This is what I am currently running.

Yes, if you want them to keep up with the bass. Look at Timpano and Wolfram to.
