Hey everybody, I'm kind of new here. I recently acquired my gf's old 95 Avy XLS with 140,000 and am going to be using as my daily commute (100 miles round trip) car. I'm taking my head unit (Pioneer 7500MP), XM, 10" MTX 6000 sub and Fosgate Power 250.2 out of my old Tacoma and installing it into the Avalon. Since it has components up front I'm going to be installing some Polk DB 5.25's up front and I wanna put some coaxials in the back but can't decide if I wanna get nice ones and power them along with the Polks on a 4 channel amp or just get some average coax's, throw them in the rears and just power them with the HU. The problem is the Polks handle almost 100 watts RMS and finding a coax that can handle close to that kind of power is hard. I found a set of Alpine Type R's that will but are close to $100 for the pair. The other problem is the amp. If I get a four channel amp with 100x4 they are pretty expensive (for my budget). I've found most good quality (clean sound) 4 channels with 100x4 are running close to $300 which I agree is not that bad of a price but I'm trying to keep a pretty strict budget. I can pick up a nice JL or Fosgate 2 channel 80x2 or 100x2 for a little over $130 which is much better of a price for me. So the question is do I just get a 2 channel for the components and let the HU power the coax's in the rear or suck it up and get a four channel and and nicer coax's in the rears and power everything with the amp? The funniest part of this is if I do get it, the freakin 4 channel will be almost twice the power of my sub amp!! So what do you guys think? Remember I'm really not looking to spend too much money on this car since its really just my beater/commuter car (no offense anyone
) but I am an audio fanatic and love great clean sounding audio. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Steve
