Subs: 2 10 inch jl WX-4 subs

Speakers: http://www.bostonacoustics.com/S85-P579.aspx -in all 4 doors

For two 4 ohms SVC subs with RMS handling of 125W RMS each, you'll want an amp that can do 250-300 watts RMS into a two ohm mono load, or a multi channel amp that can do 125-150 W RMS per channel into 4 ohm loads.

ok thanks, but you kind of lost me there. can you give me an link to one cause theres so many out there and i dont know which ones are good or not.

also do you think i should go with component speakers in the front doors and regular speakers in the back doors? or just go with regular 2-ways all around?

thanks a lot!

Get components for the front.

What's your budget?

thanks

Can you return the subs? With such low efficiency and power handling, I'd hate for you to buy a matching amp and be disappointed with the performance.

You have two options with components from the front, round (5 1/4 or 6 1/2) or oval (5x7 or 6x8). There are cheap adapters available on ebay and other places on the net that will let you screw a round into the stock hole. Some round components come with the adapters (my Pioneer Premier TS-D720C for example).

The Phoenix Gold RSD65CS are normally available for around $70 and regarded as some of the biggest bang for your buck comps. You'll have a lot of options in the 100-150 range, check out woofersetc.com for a great selection.

i may be able to return the subs, they were a present. What subs do you recommend? i might want to stick with the JL's if bigger subs will fit and sound better

as for the components, theres so much out there i don't know whats good or not. i may just go with the Phoenix Gold's for the front. and what about for the back? my friend has some Boston Acoustics S85's and he really likes them. but whatever you think
