Id get much better amps. If you want your speakers to really shine id get a really great amp on the highs. Rockford/Alpine/JL/ED/etc. I know there are much better amps such as Audison but the guys on a budget.

I would keep that amp for the subs though.

i've never really heard anything about those amps but i would do some research and see what they really put out.

200 watts is more than enough for those 6000's so if the amp is a little over rated thats not a bad thing. never heard of those sub amps but both are probably a bit much as well so a bit over rated would be good.

have you decided what box you're going to put them in?

and don't be disappointed in the sound you'll get, like blaze said you really need to get better amps but because of the budget those will work fine.

First, before ordering anything from CarDomain check their rating here

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/CarDomain

I just waited 5 days on amp they said was in stock. They accepted the order, it never shipped, they never contacted me but when I email them asking why I have not received it, they then say they dont carry it anymore.

Check out the Polk C400.4 to push your components in addition to others recommended.

I've personally never heard ED, but the price seems great. I love silk tweeters. One of my buddies had Power Acoustik amps and they worked fine. I wouldn't trust the power rating they advertise, but the amps above should power what you need just fine. I'd say it's a decent budget system.

i found a NINe.1 http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/pro...products_id=44
for a great price...would it be good for the sub...its too powerful...it might make me have to jump to the 190v.2 sub....and what would be better to do first...buy this stuff...or a headunit...cause i cant afford both at the same time

I do my systems in this order:

Head unit, sub(s) and amp(s), front speakers and amp, rear speakers and amp (sometimes I don't bother with rears).

Your system is only going to sound as good as the source. If you have a crap signal from crap head unit, you get crap sound. Most decent after market head units will make your stock mids sound better, so adding a sub to get the lows will really bring your music to life. Finish it all up with good mids and highs. A lot of people prefer to do the mids and highs first, but I've been obsessed with bass since I was 10 years old and can't go long with out it. Most people agree though that the source is the #1 priority.

go for a pair of 13ov.2's rather than a 19ov.2. you'll be much more satisfied with the output and the sq

and the avic d3 is a sufficient HU correct. ive always liked it, and it seems many people have installed it...so that would be a good first purchase?
