CanadianG: Dude, that's exactly the stuff I like to hear. I need this stuff spelled out for me. Hehe...
Personally, I would prefer simplicity, BUT... I want to maximize the use of my $$. =)
So, here's the breakdown. (All done in Canadian $$)
$500 - sub speaker, sub box and sub amp (if necessary)
$380 - rear speakers (6x9), speaker enclosers, amp
$120 - front speakers (4x6 - which I'd like to amp)
-------
$1000 - TOTAL $$ for car stereo
So that's where I'm at. BTW, how important is S/N ratio on an amp? And is the S/N ratio more important on the rear amp than the sub amp?
