Well I'm going to work on my audio and wanted to see what kind you guys recommend. So far I've got a Kicker Component set RS5 for the front. I want to get a good set of back speakers, but don't want to pay an arm and leg for them. Then I need a good 4 channel amp for the speakers. Also don't want to pay an arm and leg. And to finish it off I want to get one 12" sub and an amp for it. What do you guys recommend? I want to get this all with in a good price.

Let me break it down alittle bit more.

Front Speakers- I have a Kicker Component set to install.

Back Speakers- I want some that will be able to stand up to the front. And for a reasonable price too.

Sub- I don't like a ton of bass. Thats why I only want one sub. Which would hit good and go with the speakers?

Amps- I need a 4 channel for the speakers and I guess a 2 channel for the sub. I want something that will push enough power and won't break the bank.

Finally I know I'm going to need a power kit(I'm thinking 4 guage) and a block to seperate power for the 2 amps. What guage wiring should I use to run from the amps to the speakers and subs? Sould I get a power converter?

And finally I need to find a good site to get everything from for good prices. Thanks.

For good imaging you don't want the sound to come from behind you. Most guys here run the rears off deck power. I would just get a pair of coax's for the back and not amp them. In my car my fronts are amped and the rears aren't, and I still fade +9 to the front for the best imaging.

For the sub get a monoblock Class D amp for the sub. They will be cheaper, more efficient, and have controls better suited to running a sub. I'd think a single 10" or 12" sealed would be good.

For wiring do 4 guage into the trunk. That into the dist block. Then probably two 8 guage out, one to each amp.

I generally get everything off ebay.

Take a look at my website, plus browse the members webpages to get an idea of what others are using.

Also pick out some stuff and we can help you decide from there. Giving us a budget is also helpful.

So I don't need to get a 4 channel amp and I can just get a 2 channel for the Component set? I'm looking to spend no more than $1000.

For back speakers, i was thinking about getting a set of Pioneers. As for amps, I was thinking about getting Rockford Fosgate. If i run the back speakers off the headunit, can I just get one amp. Like get a 4 channel amp to run the Component set and a sub?

How are you able to fad to the front if your speakers are running off an amp?

The fader affects both RCAs and HU power at the same time.

Wow, $1000. Damn. Umm ....

Hifonics Brutus $250 (ebay)
Adire Audio Brahma $350 (adire audio)
Highs amp (2 channel) $200 (ebay)
Box $100 (local shop)
Wire $100

That would be an insane setup.
