Get an MB Quart DSC280 for the 6.75"s and run the 4x6"s on deck power.

Thats a great suggestion, especially if you are on a budget. Do you plan on upgrading speakers down the road? Maybe adding a sub?

Honestly I wouldn't even run an amplifier on those speakers, waste of money, they're too under powered. I have Pioneer Premier speakers, their top model before Component sets, and I'm running them off the deck and they sound amazing and get really loud as it is. I've thought about getting an amp, then turn my volume up loud and remember why I dont need one. haha. Unless you plan on using speakers with like 60+rms watts, I wouldn't really worry about it. And even then, my rear 6.5s are 60rms and sound great on the decks power.

putting an amp on speakers makes them sound 100000 times better no matter how **** the amp is, I had a pair of pioneer 5x7 and a POS pyramid amp laying around i put that on them did some tuning and it was amazing how good those speakers sounded

hahaha I just noticed he has the exact same rear speakers as me, the TS-D1702R, except mine are 6.5's. And like I said I have mine running off my Deck, and they still sound really good, but if you really want to you could run a low power amp to the rear speakers, and the front ones should definitely get enough power from the deck, like the guy above said. But should sound really good either way. Let me know how it turns out.

That is truer than most manufacturers would care to admit. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

No. This dude's 6.75"s will sound better with amplification. 15-20 watts from a cd player isn't going to cut it...

Also remember, there's a big difference between being just Loud and being clean while being loud.

If you have an amp running at 50% power but putting out 50-watts....Its going to sound a hell of a lot better than a Deck running around 80% power and putting out 20-watts. Most amps sound clean up until around 50-70% power and start to distort/hiss.

Clean + loud = less fatigue on the ears. Less embarrassment when you show off your system and it doesn't sound like a crappy PA system. j/k //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Depending on your budget. I would run a rockford fosgate P400.4 or higher. I would recommend a 4 channel amp over a 2 channel.

I am installing soon a p500.4 for the my door speakers.

A p400.4 amp will easily run clean at 50WRMS 4ohm on each channel. Then just adjust the gain output at the amp for the 4x6 speakers until you can upgrade them to lower ohm and higher RMS componets with crossovers.

This type of option will leave room to grow if you like later with speakers and still have a good amp that won't put too much of a amp draw on your alternator to run them.

I would definitely recommend to amp all the speakers and not run them off the deck. If your like the majority and don't fit a "hey the car is paid for but the wheels are financed!" type then better to save for a little while and get what would be the best fit for your listening style. You can get that amp for less then $200.00.

After all of the money I have wasted on attempting to save money, this is good advice.
