[QUOTE="ummduh, post: 8397046, member: 616768"] I have a 1995 F250 4x4.. So, old, loud, rough, minimal sound deadening.. anywhere. I'm trying to make it sound decent on the cheap. I have a crappy RE SRX12 I built a ported box for, (1.4ft3 net, aeroported @34Hz), and have a Precision Power PPI BA2600.1D amp on the way for it. Yes, I know it's seriously over powering the sub. I do plan on upgrading that aspect at some point in the future, but that will be after more alt/bat.. Big 3 is already done, and made a massive electrical improvement on this old truck. Anyways, I need help making up my mind on what to do with the regular speakers. I can spend as much as I have to, but want to spend as little as possible, as usual. I just don't know where I am going to run into the point of just wasting money on this. The truck is loud, has loud tires, it's a big block, everything rattles/jiggles/shakes. The deck is an OLD Pioneer Premier... something. psomething something. From like 2004.

Front speakers are 6.5's, rears are 6x8's. Truck is a supercab, but no back seat, the super cab area is only used for storing tools/supplies.
