[QUOTE="Old_Slapper, post: 8871758, member: 690458"] For a sound quality system, you don't need a ton of power. Now, these days, many people believe you need 10,000 watts to get good sounding music. If so, then how did they do it in the 90's? I have built quite a few SQ winning vehicles, as well as DB winners. For your car, here's what I would do. [LIST] [*]Single 12" sub in a sealed enclosure. A ported would be a heck of a lot louder and quite a bit of an overkill. However, a sealed enclosure will give you plenty of attention. We've done it for decades with less power. [*]A good set of 6.5 components up front. A good sounding set is a personal preference. [*]5.25 components in the rear with a baffle to keep the sub from cancelling them out. [*]Sound deaden entire doors and around the speakers on the rear deck. [*]JL Audio 900/5 amp. [*]JL Audio DSP [*]Jl Audio 12w3 [*]250 amp alternator. [/LIST] Many will argue that JL Audio is overpriced, but they can't argue by saying it's crappy equipment. All of this, installed, will probably run you $2500. [/QUOTE]
