Which 6.5" component system is good for low cost? Not really cheap like pyle or something like that but something worth having.

go listen to them

I think the best way to figure this out is to go listen to some at tweeter, or wherever there are speakers set up for demo. Bring a CD you like to listen to and take it from there. I am by no means an expert, but I've heard that cheaper components identify themselves by their harsh highs at high volume and lack of tight midbass.

so throw in your opinions in component sets. I want something that's good quality and holds enough power to go w/ 1800watts of bass. I was thinking of 2 sets of componenst on the rear and 2 sets on the front. Ideas are welcomed, please help. As long as theyre not rediculously priced.

Instead of buying 4 mediocre component sets, but one really nice component set, and send them a healthy amount of power. (and mount them in the front) Don't worry about rear speakers right now, if you want rear speakers after you have gotten your front setup established you can look into some rear coaxials, and maybe a small 2 channel amp for them.

Without a budget, I can't really reccomend anything.

thing is you cant hear the mids too much over the bass, i have a kenwood 1800watt amplifier 2ohm stable mono on 2 10" Solo's, kicks hard as hell. Right now i have 400 watts to my 6x9's in the rear and it sounds fine but i want a component set to make it sound better and more clear plus i want a lot of mid and highs power. Soon im going to get 2 15" solos which then im really not gonna hear the mids and highs so i want a lot of mids and highs and i dont want to lose the rear/ front fading for the "surround sound" effect.

you really need to learn the difference between RMS and MAX wattage.

Ok we can probably reccomend some speakers if you want, but it's very hard to without a budget.

How much do you want to spend?
