Need some advice on a stereo

[denny8569]

Hi all,
I got $2000-$2500 to spend on a system. I got a pioneer head unit with a 12-disc changer in the trunk. And 2 JBL 6.5" whatevers that were put in there when the stock ones blew a few years ago. They sound decent for the only 2 working speakers in the car. And the stock front door speakers are blown too. a good friend of mine's father is a manager at a local tweeter so i can get a deal on whatever i get and installation. I'm thinking 2 12" W7's and 2 JL 1000/1 amps. Then a JL 300/4 amp to power the speakers. What speakers to get? And should i just replace the JBL's in the back?!

The second sub is going to give you 3dB, which is hardly worth it. Get a Luke box with a 10w6 (if it fits) or an IDQ10v3. The smaller sub firing into the cabin will be better than the huge sub radiating out your trunk lid.

Lose the rear deck speakers and install 6.5s in your doors and tweeters in the stock location. (Or consider the Hybrid Imagine coaxes in the doors.)
