Need Opinions!

Ok I have 500$ to spend on a system maybe a little more but around that...

I want to get this so far...

Digital Audio 5.25" 3-Way Component System (120w RMS) - $102.99
Digital Audio 6.5" Midbass Drivers (200w RMS) - $114.99

Now I just need a 120x2 RMS and a 200x2 RMS amp for both of those.. help me on my decision

I been looking at Power Acoustik, SoundStorm, Logic, Visonik... Digital Audio amps are out of my price range...

I gave you good brands before ..... the brands you are looking at will not perform anywhere near their advertized specs.

Power figures for those speakers are a maximum rating. Any amp that is that power or lower will work fine.

Get any amp thats a reputable brand, and it will work hassle free, won't overheat in the summer, won't burnup, last forever, etc .... you get my point.

I would suggest something like these ...... (prices off ebay w/ shipping included):

JBL P80.4 ($145)
MTX 4244 ($180)
Rockford 300x ($180)
Pioneer GM-X364 ($125)
Pioneer GM-X564 ($160)
Pioneer PRS-X340 ($190)
Kicker IX404 ($160)
Kicker KX300.4 ($190)

Okay,,,the digital audio components will not handle as much power as their rated for...the price of them being tht low should tell ya something. Low price..high ratings...usually junk...

Also the midbass driver is just that...no tweeter..plays 70hz and up or so..

Are you looking for front components and 6.5's for the rear?..

That much actual power to speakers as well will make you deaf in no time.. 50Wrms is all your ears will ever really handle..more is good though..but only to avoide unwanted distortion.


for $500 for front and rear speakers and an amp..plus wiring your options are quite very limited...
