Shaker 500 and KENWOOD EXCELON KFC-X683C 6x8" SPEAKERS/ speaker harnesses on the way.
Here are the specs on the speakers
Quote:
2-way 6x8" custom fit speakers (it will also fit in a 5x7" opennings)
180 watts peak power
2-60 watts RMS power
Diamond Array Pattern carbon-polypropylene woofer
Butyl Rubber Surround
1-3/16" PEI balanced dome tweeter
4-ohm impedance
Frequency response: 80-21000 Hz
Sensitivity: 88 dB
Custom fit to select FORD & MAZDA vehicles
Mounting depth: 2-9/16"
Screws (8 pcs) and speaker wires (2 x 11") are included
The speakers don't come with a grilles
I am going to get a JL Cleansweep from Crutchfield (for warranty and install info) and then a sub/ box and amp.
I am thinking of going with this
10" kicker sub with box
Thoughts on it? I listen to mostly country, but occasionally some rock and a little pop/rap in there. WOuld that be ample? I am unsure on how to pair the system to an amp. I am looking to amp my front speakers and the sub obviously. What would be a good budget friendly amp to safely power the system? Also, would it be worth putting 2 10's in the back like this or is that overkill?
I only want to have one amp for the whole system so I know I would need a 4 channel for sub and front speakers. If I did 2 10's would I need a 5 channel?
I appreciate advice here,
Thanks,
John

Ok guys more update...
here's the sub I got... 39.99 on Black friday so I thought it would suite my needs fine:
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...C-W2513PS.html
I'll be making a full blown custom center console that will also house this sub. In terms of installing my 5 channel amp and wiring the speakers and sub, what do I need? I'd like to install the amp and get the speakers amped over my winter break if possible the week I get out of school since I have a small lull in work hours. Any help would be appreciated... I'm new to this stuff
