Finishing 1985 System
Im looking to finish up the system in my car that was started by the previous owner. Currently it consists of a Kenwood KDC-X791 head unit and 1 pair of Kenwood KFC-XR401 4" 2-way speakers (I think they are in the doors).
Now Im wondering what to put in the rears. If heard 6x9's but what brand/type? Stick with Kenwood? I might put 2 8" subs in the rear as well.
Also I have a big Pioneer GM-X722 2-channel amp, can/should i use this? Do I even need an amp?
For the most part I listen to rock music and I like it loud!

always use an amp, the signal is better and the power cant be made up wityh anything else, use your 2 ch amp for 2 subs or bridged with 1 sub. and get a nice 4 ch int amp. I have an awesome art series ppi amp thats 50x4, Id be int in parting with.

Might be a stupid question. When Im looking for speakers and amps that are compatable what do I look for? For instance, I want to run 2 8" subs and 2 6x9's on one amp. So I need a 4 channel but what watt output would I need?

You need to some reading on the subject. Most people on this forum will let you that w/ the right front speakers, rear speakers are a waste. The most important thing to do for a C4 is to raise the front sound stage by mounting the tweeters on the top of the doors, or on the dash/A pilliars. Doing this will raise the front sound stage so that you can really hear it; then the rear speakers become unnecessary.
