how do I make my speakers scream?

Okay so I wanna know what speakers will just scream and make my ears bleed. I have stock speakers in the back and front. My car is 03 camry with jbl sound system but of course I replaced a lot of things except for the speakers. Right now this is what I have.
2 12" MTX Thunder 7500 Subs
600 Watts JBL Monoblock Amp
Custom Built And ported Box for trunk
Rockford Fosgate Farad Capacitor
Yellow Top Optima Battery (I think thats the name..its yellow)
Dynamated Trunk And Roof
JBL Bass Knob
I'm runnin this off an alpine ivad300 which has a built in crossover so my speakers sound pretty good..The car places are tellin me that I should just buy a crossover and my speakers will be loud but I wanna replace them...any suggestions on speakers/amp and what I should do? When I turn the bass down and the volume up I can hear the rears tryin to produce bass and they sound distorted...I dont want them to do that, any help is appreciated...respect

What JBL amp do you have? I'd get the matching 4 channel amp and then a set of components and run them active. What kind of music do you usually listen to and do you prefer a more detailed tweeter or something a little more smoother and less fatiguing?

thats the amp I have...and when you say get a set of components and run them active, I have no clue what you're talking about. I usually listen to rap hip-hop and reggae. What I want is something thats kinda ear peircing when turned up loud. I know what kind of sound I want it's just hard to explain. But definitely I can cop the 4 channel matchin amp no problem.

Here's a good deal on a very strong 4 channel
http://store.yahoo.com/yhst-17990866...l-px300-4.html

Sounddomain should pricematch that.

Then look into some components that will take advantage of that power. Some that come to mind are Boston Z6's(altough out of your budget)

CDT HD's will fit into your budget and do the job nicely, escpecially paired with an Image Upstage kit(extra tweeter and crossover)

Focals can get loud(probably out of budget though)

MBQuart QSD Components would definitely suit your tastes(going by what you say about how you like your highs) they are very detailed and get LOUD, probably over budget though

BTW wiring a component set active means you take out the passive crossover and you run each tweeter on it's own channel and each mid on it's own channel(4 channels total)



^passive crossover

This will allow you to run more power because the crossover isn't limiting how much power you can use.

Although there are crossovers sets that are built for handling high amounts of power, such as CDT's HD and upper lines, Focals, Boston's.

Try to do some auditioning if you can at some good local shops that carry higher end products and see what you like, rmemeber the best speakers are the one's that sound best to your ears, not by what others say. But do take advice from where it is good info. Check out some of the Audio forums and do a search and you see alot of reviews.

Some audio forums to check out

www.elitecaraudio.com
www.soundillusions.net
www.diymobileaudio.com
www.sounddomain.com
www.caraudiocentral.net
http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/index.php

Also keep in mind, most of the final outcome of how well everything sounds is the quality of the installation and the tuning.

Be sure to heavily deaden the doors and the rest of the car, esp. the trunk. Use MDF wood mounting rings to mount the speakers to the door.

Do alot of research. Use the Search function at those forums and read everything.

If you're gonna be demoing equipment at your local shops you should buy from one as well.

Throw an amp with about 50-100 watts to just about any component set and it should be plenty loud enough.

MB Quarts (reference line) or Polks (people have told me) have a very bright sound, too harsh for me, but sound like thats what you want. Get at least 75 x 4 rms, 4 channel amp. Look at JL e series, Jbl, or even the new rockford amps, I am hearing good things about there new amps.
