I'm finally thinking about upgrading the sound in my car. Suggestions?
Current amps:
Sub amp - Arc Audio 1500DR: 900wrms x 1 @ 4 ohms
Component amp - Arc Audio 4050CXL: 180wrms x 2 @ 4 ohms
Going with a simple setup of 6.5" components up front and subs in the back. No rear speakers.
Should I go with a single 10" or 12" sub? Maybe it's better to go with two subs? 10" or 12"? I remember hearing that 12" subs complement 6.5" speakers better than 10" subs.
I'm looking at Image Dynamics IDQ woofers.
Front speaker suggestions? I ran Focals in my previous car and I loved them, but I'm not up-to-date on the current speaker choices. I obviously need something that will be able to handle 100-150wrms.
TIA

I am deciding between IDQ, MB, Alpine S series and infiniti perfects
probably whichever is cheapest
I have 10" subs and they sound good, works better in small volume stealth boxes.

Those arc amps are great

I'd recommend heading out and picking up a copy of September's Car Audio and Electronics magazine.
They did a review of some extremely great speakers. The guy doing the review is a sales rep for Morel speakers in the southern states. He's a great audiophile. He gave the Hertz MLK165 a better score than his own Morel speakers at $1200 more. I know what speakers I'm buying
