I havent seen CDTs in any retail store (though that doesnt mean they aren't out there), go to their website and search for CDT dealers in your area I guess??

The HD 3 ways were what I've heard. They're pricey though...

what budget do you want to stick to for components?

 

Well for the components and amp to power it I would like to get the best bang for my money but I'd say about 650 maybe a little more but would really like to stay less than that

 

Honestly if you get a 2000w 4 channel amp it will power your speakers and one 12 just fine no issues at all. Depending on what speakers your running. Also depends on if you tun 6 speakers or 4.

 

2000w 4 channel, huh?

 

a 2000w 4 channel amp? whats that, 500w per channel? way too much power for any components in his budget.

kidgotheat are you replacing rear speakers as well?

either way, for a 650 dollar budget you can get a pretty good setup, I would include sound deadening in that cost.

something like the RF punch/power series or JL slash series multi-channel amps delivers good clean power for not too much money, basically stick with name brand stuff and not crap and you'll be okay for a highs amp for the most part. You're not trying to win any SQ contests here I'm sure.

As for comps,

around the $300 range,

Rainbow SLCs (or better if you can find a set used, like the Germanium line)
Hertz HSK
DLS up6
CDT HD if you can find a set cheap enough
Boston Pro60s

honorable mention: Phoenix Gold RSd 6.5s... Ive heard nothing but good things about these comps, and they're dirt cheap. 100 dollars a set brand new is not uncommon. Loud and clear and retain quality..

for deadening order some dynamat, but just about any equivalent brand is better... Fatmat, Cascade, Brown Bread, Second Skin, etc.

 

I don't know of any amp on the market that does a legit 500 x 4 @ 4 ohms.

I would spend the most on the comps and the least on the amp. Plenty good budget amps out there for <150.

Oh I'm sure the "2000w" rating is a bit inflated.

That is cheap power right there... good deal. and its a class A/B.

 

I've actually checked out a few of those comps like the hertz hsk and the pro60 ........ Also I'm not sure if I want to change out the rear speakers for sure but if I did should I just throw in a decent set of coaxials for the rears

 

Use that money toward the fronts

rears are useless.

 

This actually sounds like a good setup ...if I did decide to throw in a pair of coaxials in the rear would that amp be able to power both the front set of comps and the rear n what wiring kit should I look into

 

That's what I was thinking I will probably just leave the stickies in the rear but with the setup u recommended what wiring kit would I need n to add that with the sa12 in the trunk would I need to buy a capacitator or something or will the big 3 upgrade work?

 

Nah, you'd want to bridge that amp down to 2 channels to power the fronts.

 

No cap.

Just proper wiring and distribution. A bigger battery upfront would help.

Wiring wise, i would

Run 0 from batt to distro
4 to each amp
Biggest xs power batt i can fit under the hood

 

Oh yeah

Forgot to add

If you don't care about trunk space, Opt for a 15" ssa dcon. It's 92@ 1 w efficient compared to 84 with the sundown. It's gonna get a lot louder with less power. Just gonna need a huge box.

 

I'll agree on the rears being useless, and on big 3, no cap, and big batt.

15 in a coupe/sedan though, ugh just need a bigass box.

who's installing all of this for you
