[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 8653103, member: 607015"] When I say vision, I actually mean the sound. What do you imagine the front stage sounding like? Rich and full with tons of up front bass for that 2way + subwoofer type presentation? Or lean and loud as part of more of a full-on 3way setup that you're sitting in the middle of? The drivers you choose for those will be different, for best results. My opinion, the drivers you settle on should never depend on the vehicle. You should be in love with a driver for the character and performance, then do everything within your power to get it into the vehicle and make it work. Having clean power and tuning flexibility is a given and you should always have that on tap. I'm not sure how we arrived a time where everyone thinks so, but you do not need to go crazy with front stage power. Realistically, 50-75w per driver is as good as it ever was for front stage drivers. Especially if they are very sensitive drivers. But even if that's not enough power, today's more efficient offerings should solve the alternator concerns if you're stepping it up to 100-125w per driver. The subwoofer is where you want to throw down some real power but that still doesn't always necessitate an alternator upgrade if you're simply putting together a system for music. I've been procrastinating when it comes to my own power upgrades but it hasn't stopped me from running 1500w-2000w sub amps, all without issue. Anyway, I'm sure you will figure it out.
