Hey folks,

Just got a new car and its time to do the audio again. its a BA XR6.

I want a system that i can crank but still has nice clarity. Any advice on speaker setup or brands.. In my last car i had amp'd 6 X 9's in the parcel, sub in the boot and ampd 3 ways in the front and it was a bad setup as all the sound and bass came from th rear.

so...splits in the front and 6 inch in the rear pls 2 12's in the boot

3 ways in the front, 6 inch in the rear and subs in the boot?

depends on the amount of money you have, i would love a nice set of splits in the front that could handle at least 100 to 150 wrms each, and a nice 12 in the boot, if tuned right the bass sounds like its coming out the front, i personally don't have rear speakers

i got JBL 5*7's all round, alpine competition deck and two jbl1000 subs

its got enough volume and clarity for anyone i know

How much you wanna spend all up?

Okay then. For amps you'll only need 2, one for the fronts and a mono for the sub. Dont even think about amping the rears... or even changing them..

4 channels will allow you to run bridged or active.
Run fronts, either bridged or active.
