If you're thinking of an 8 speaker system, with "indepence" and you're not just handing the car and tons of money over to a very reputable custom car audio installer, you're doing it very, very, very wrong.

You'll get much better results with a high-quality 2 component-set system and a dual-channel amp for much less. The only drawback is, of course, that you'll not give teenage boys in wal-mart or the high-school parking lot quite as much wood to play with while you tell them about how many watts you have.

To do a proper 8-speaker system right, you're going to be looking at a pair of 4-channel amps and a signal processor like the JBL MS-8 in order to make it not sound like an out of phase orgy of noise.

Hard to interpret it any other way... Anyway, previous advice still stands, do a good pair of components, not four lesser speakers.

whats the goal?

Sounds like you're about to install a bunch of pos pro audio mids and a flea market amp.

You're on the road to a shitty setup my friend.

Have some lost on a flash drive somewhere, lol.

But, i had an 8 in the door, 6.5 midrange in the kicks, and horns under the dash...had around 1500w on tap for the front stage only..good times, lol.

Um, 600 won't get you that far. Most reference components will sound good, but they won't get loud.

U want loud and clean? Pro audio is the route. 600 is barely stratching the surface for some good pro audio stuff.
