If you are looking for a cheap but effective solution, I recommend getting an Alpine head unit plus the Alpine 4-channel power pack and running some speakers off that. I have not personally had experience with the power pack, but always wanted to get one.
You can find cheap subwoofer packages almost anywhere. I had an Alpine 12" Type R that shook pretty good that I got off Craigslist for relatively cheap. I think it runs at 600Wrms.
If you want to do it right the first time, I suggest running a 4-channel amp and running your speakers off that. You will have to create a custom baffle for the 6.5" speakers for the front though. 4x6 was ok, but doesn't compare to the versatility and range of 6.5"
If you do the 4-channel amp, you might be ok without a sub, but nothing compares to a nice rumble. |
The rear monsoon speakers are a four wire speaker. Many people gave up on them too easy when they saw that. There is a two wire combination that works properly. It has been long enough since I did it that I dont remember which two anymore, but my 2 wire speakers work great.
