    It would almost be a waste to get a big powerful amp because for one, your not gonna get the rated power, and two your gonna wind up killing your battery. I think everyone would agree with getting a second battery. It can be as little as a kinetik hc600, but that will hold your system. But be wise with your amp choice. As stefanhinote stated you will also have roughly 20 amps to run your entire audio setup.

    First off how are you planning on running the subs? None of the amps you listed run under 2 ohm, which limits what you can do with your setup. And I agree with smashedz28 you will need ALOT of power to even see have of the rated power!! If I were you, I'd look into a sundown amp for those prices or a crescendo amp. These two amps that I stated pick up more frequencies than those you stated also.

    i just read about this situation, and man I have too say. I don't think anyone should do business with this guy. thats terrible, if i had a company i was trying to promote, I'd show good customer service to public first chance I got.

    I would put one of these in the front door before I would put multiple sets.

    8NDL51

    One of those and the ST in each front door will more than keep up with those subs.

    Do you have a vid of your setup?? I want to see those 8" woofers in action. And you have the super tweeter with those. That's a nice idea.

    Not a nice idea. The B&C he linked is a great driver, but I'd at least match it with a tweeter that was listenable. Super tweeters and cars never really make sense. If you need more output step up to a horn.

    ok you guys. I ordered 1 set of crescendo components. And may buy watts09 AA mids if he still has them Monday. will try both, and if my HD cam is in, in time, i'll do two video's of their performance. THANK YOU ALL!!! You all have helped me out ALOT!

    I took my rear speakers out already, and will take front stage out when I get crescendos. Will keep you ALL updated. Thanks again to you ALL.

    I do have a 4 door sedan if that matters. It isn't the coupe. I'm going to try the crescendos. I'm ordering 4 sets of the components. Putting two in each front door, with 2 pairs in each back door. Since the cadence will be more expensive if I get 4 sets. Any thoughts? Opinions? Is this the correct choice. Will be upgrading icons to xcons in very near future, or may even be zcons. Batteries on the way and upgrading amp to a sundown 1500 or 2000

    I have been happy with my Diamond D6 components. To me they are hard to beat for the price. I have one set of the components in my Durango and they keep up with my two 18'' Xcons. To me what you have in your signature for speakers is overkill. Loving the old school icons though :fing34:

    I will have to look into these. I have always had a difficult time with mids and highs. Thanks for your input, and thanks the Icons are rocking n 3.2cbft each!!

    I don't mix brands on my speakers. Its not that it cannot be done, I just haven't.

    I would look at the Cadence, MB Quart, JL Audio, or maybe even some Kicker.

    What is your budget and how do you want to install them?

    As previously said forget the back. Rear fill for me has never served a purpose.

    Didn't say mix brands, just mixing components. But I don't think I will do any mixing. Thanks for your input. My budget is about 500 for all speakers.

    I would NOT buy any 6x9's and I wouldn't buy any rears. Tons of options for the front comps though. Get rid of the super tweeters as well.

    I agree with this, in terms of your goal being a balanced system, or one that gets really loud but does not have much audible distortion.

    Ok. So, I'll take out the Kenwood 5-ways 500watts. So no speakers for the rear deck??

    My car didn't have factory back door speakers. So you all suggest I install 2 or 3 speakers in each door (I'll fiberglass them for customs), with no rear deck speakers? Is that what you guys suggest?? AND NO SUPERTWEETER??

    Going for a new mid highs setup!! Taking out the ken woods. I have two SSA Icon 15s for my lows. Looking for 2 6.5s and 4 6x9s... And I'll maybe keep my crescendo super tweeters. Any suggestions?? What would yall put in y'alls ride if you had a price limit of 250 for each. (I want to hear about y'alls goals) saying you had two 15 icons!!
