You really only need to amp the front speakers.

yeah i was thinking type s 6x9's in the back no amp and type r 6.5's in the door with a 2 channel amp that does 100 watts per channel. what amp would be good for that?

You don't really need back speakers. Save the money and spend it on your front stage. I personally would buy the MRP-F300 and bridge it to the fronts. Any amp that does 100 watts RMS x2 will fit your needs though.

ok thanks. it will be while before i upgrade

You can get the mb quart dsc450 for less than $100, that would be a nice amp for your set up. 50w x 4/100w x 4 or 200w x 2

$78 shipped

$84 shipped on Amazon

videos when the camera starts to work

Good choice of equipment for your first setup!! Always feels good to build your own box. Keep the pictures comin'.

hey did you like your type r components. the sub seems to over power the type s's and im thinking about upgrading to those next. what amp did you use for them to?

I still love my type-r's. The tweeters and 6.5 both did best on-axis. They like power so I was feeding them 100 watts each. I was using the MRP-F600.

what does on-axis mean?

[bigmikekc 2]

what does on-axis mean?

on-axis refers to the speaker being mounted pointing directly at your ear. You don't really need to worry about on-axis mounting, just a point I was bringing it up.

What I would worry about is that the speakers are mounted super solid in your door. I suggest you mount an MDF ring inbetween the door metal and speaker to decouple(seperate) the two, this will help the speaker work to its full potental and not resonate(unwanted vibration) as easy. Then get an amp and it will make all the difference in output.

As far as a good ground point, I recommend drilling a hole in the trunk floor and bolting the ground wire to the trunk floor with a lock nut on the under side. (sandwich the floor)

Preferably at the rear of the trunk, where you can put one arm in the trunk and one under the car to hold the wrench.

[bigmikekc 2]

amp is on the back of the box where you cant see it
