Time for a little thread resurrection.
Rather than starting a new thread since this one has already covered most of the basic info I thought I would continue this a bit further.
After reading all the suggestions I'm leaning to the polk DXi/db series 6.5's in the wagon. I've never had a car with a decent (anything better than stock speakers) system so I'm totally new at this. I have done pro sound for recording and live events for quite a few years but its a whole different ball game when it comes to this small enclosed space called a car. The preference of this is operating on around a $500 budget building the system by trying to pick up quality used components.
Would it be worth my while to go with one of the systems with individual tweeters and cross over for the front? Say like the DXi6500 in the fronts and then DXi650 with built in tweeters in the rear? Does anyone have any experience with the differences between the DXi6500 and the DXi6501 and then the DXi650/651 other than the 1 versions being slightly cheaper?
Also would it be worth an extra $50-100 to hunt down something comparable to the MM series speakers? say the MM6501 and the MM651
Currently I have an older Pioneer 6000dvd head unit that came with the IRL donor car, planning on running it for another couple of years and then go to a later generation Pioneer app radio. I'm leaning to a sealed enclosure for a single 10in sub glassed in behind the drivers side wheel well. Amps are also still up in the air, I don't need anything too crazy as I have no intention of going past this level, (exception of possibly putting a pair of aura bass shakers in for more feel without more volume). Any amp recommendations would also be welcomed.
