So I'm thinking the Kicker 08KS600(6.5") for the front and the Kicker 08KS680(6X8) for the back doors. Actually does anyone know if the 6x8's will fit without me having to do any mods. I also found a prefab box that will hold 2 10"s subs going with the DC lvl 2. What size amp am i going to need and will this system work well?

the 6x8's will fit great!

a good solid 800 watt amp will push those both nicely, 800 watts at 1 ohm

Any recommendations on AMPS? So I'll only need 1 amp to power the 4 speakers and the subs

loganberry

you will need 1 for the door speakers a 4 channel
and a mono block amp for the subs...you can do a big 5 channel but you can get 2 for much cheaper


whats your budget on amps?

Hawkt19

I guess my budget is what ever it takes. From what I've read kicker makes a good amp. I can't break the bank but i don't want crap either. I also need to email rusty for a price on the lvl 2's.

right now I'm at about
120 for the speakers
? for the subs
100 for the sub box
600 for the deck

kicker does make good amps there also under rated a little bit, but there not all that cheap and they cant be ran at 1 ohm, hifonics makes good amps as a nice alternative to kicker...check them out

so do i want each channel watts to be just shy of the max watts for each speaker? Also what size mono will i need for level 2's?

loganberry

max means nothing! a good 50-75 rms per channel at 4 ohms for the 4 chanel

and for the amp make sure its 800-850 rms at 1 ohm

If you want alot of bang for cheap take a look at Power Acoustik BAMF series 4 channel and Mono amps. They are pretty cheap and will do a great job. I had 2 BAMF 5500s running my 2 solo x 18s and they pushed them just as good as the kicker 2500.1 did and for half the price.

loganberry

the power acoustic's amps are very over rated


for a budget maxxsonics makes some good amps, hifonics and crunch are both good for cheap
