They'll be alright from the head unit, but massively underpowered when you think about it. The head unit realistically is 4x17wRMS unfortunatly :(

You can use the space 2ch amp, but be careful of the output (2x250w yeah?) - you'll have to keep the gain very low down.

Cool, makes sence.

So would i be best running them from my head unit - would this be powerful enough? 4x45 i think? or would i be best running it from my (with no rears) 'spare' amp? (Janson 2 chan. 500w)

I wouldn't personally.

Ever see any SQ cars with big (if any) rear speakers? It just fecks the soundstage up.

I had those Focal's up front, and a single 12" RF Punch XLC sub and it was lurvely :D

The new system is only gonna be 17cm components and a single 12" too ;) But what a fecking 12" :cool: Mwahahahaha! :D

Well said that man :D

I had Focal 165K Polykevlar's in the old Corsa...



Can see 'em at the back there :) Cracking speakers, I'd give 'em about 80-100wRMS from an amp too.

Personally, I'd ditch the 6x9's and invest in some good quality 17cm components for the front end.

Obviously depends on your budget though - how much are you looking to spend?

Ive got some ice in at the moe, want to get some better kit tho.

Ive currently got -
-Standard fronts.
-Cheap 450w 6x9's

-2x 500w 2 channel Jenson Amps (One runs 6x9's, the other the subs)
-2x 10' Kenwood Tornado subs

Will prob keep the two amps and subs, so thinking of changing the 6x9 and fronts.

Was best to get? Any help good. Cheers!
