If your set on your 300 budget though, www.knukonceptz.com for the wiring and look at www.reaudio.com "re" line of 12"s...they'll beat the pants off any kenwood sub ever made...and find an amp that'll do about 300 x 2 or so at 2 ohms. |

Bronze Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 16 Registered: Mar-05 | If you're going to replace speakers I would stick with the fronts, especially if you're going for subs down the road. A new deck and fronts can be a less expensive alternative to a full system upgrade and you'd be suprised the amount of difference you can hear. There are much better people here to point you to brands so I won't even try but yeah, look into a pair of fronts before rears unless you've already got aftermarket fronts, then I would just save for the subs and amp. |
