Full range or component?
Here is what I have so far getting ready for install. subthump dual 10 box with 2 JLw3v2, boston 6x9s for rear, with a hifonics bx1500d amp for subs, an alpine 4 channel amp, and an Exelon 2 channel amp.
Some of this stuff I already had from my last vehicle along with alot of other I cant use for this application. My question is what should I put in the doors? I have 4 Alpine 5x7 CSs I would like to use but fitment might be a problem. Should I go with full range 6.5s which is cheaper and alot less work, or should I go with a component setup (which would probably require as much work as mounting the 5x7s I already have)? Would the SQ be that much better?

components always deliver a suprior sound than full range speaker, Ther are often more adjustable as well, If you have the room and the $$$. definatly go with components, especially in the front'

Thanks, 6.5" components it is then. Im planning on doing this right the first time. What brand do you guys like? I want to run 100 watt RMS to each side. Also where do you guys put the component crossovers so they dont rattle? Thanks again.

I think I got a pretty good deal on them, I bought the brand new CDT CL component set w/xovers for $149 and since I bought a few other things and my total was $202 my shipping was free. I think its free shipping for any order over 200.
