Haven't been on here in a while, so here's an update to what I'm driving and bumping with: And here's what I'm rolling in: I do photography on the side so check out my page in the sig! If you live in the Midlands in SC, hmu fi you want some photos taken!

So I'm ready to get back into some good car audio again. This time around I have a little Scion xA Hatchback. I decided to start slow to see what will sound good in a hatch. I got one 12" RE Audio SEX12D4 and a Cadence F1200-1D so I have power to get two subwoofers if I want. Unfortunately the amp came DOA so I have a friends old Kenwood amp right now, but it's still up and beating! Picture time. I decided just to use some scraps of 3/4" MDF I had laying around to make the first box since I will be getting another subwoofer soon. The box is only about .6 ft^3 max... Phone pics are the worst, but it's a nice start... sounds great in the hatch! More to come once I get MY amp...

I had the Cadence txa-1000d and it put out at least 1200 rms. It was super loud... I just bought the f1200-1d, hopefully it's as good as the previous amp I had. Hopefully Cadence's quality is seen in ALL there products...

Should I still get the Cadence F100-5 as the highs/mids amp? Or does anyone have a better suggestion (no more than $150)

All what money? lol I only gots $150... I was gonna use that for the amp then get the wiring then the speakers... Eh... sounds good lol, everyone's been saying that so I guess I'll make that my plan. Guess I'll be getting the Cadence amp since no ones saying anything about it. I'll decide on the speakers once I get some more $$. I'll probably get some decent coaxials for the rear door since they really are hidden and can't be heard... and I was thinking 2 RFs would be better than one dd... but i dont know much about dd... I was considering one 12" warden way down the road for some serious bass since I can only fit one 12" (trying to watch the weight I put in this car since its only got 100hp lol)

Sound deadner is unfortunately last... I wanted to get the SQ in first then I wrap the whole car in that and get some thermal for the roof cause it gets blistering hot (even with 35% tint... which i'll be upping to 5% later...) Money's tight, I'm loaded with school right now and only work on fridays and saturdays for some cash on the side... Just trying to get a small SQ (nothing blow your mind, but better than what I have now...)

Ah, I guess what I forgot to say is I'm not in it for the competition... I just want some good speakers that go loud and don't distort... I looked into some RF power series speakers for $170 and might do as someone mentioned and skip the back speakers for now... My current setup is: Headunit - Alpine iDa-X100 w/ my lovely iPod for pristine output - I have the KTP power pack that puts out 45x4 RMS so It gets decently loud now... (not a whole lot of SQ at high volumes) Front speakers are stock components, but pioneer stock... better than paper i guess (taking the 45RMS like a champ) Rear speakers were some 5.25" pioneer stock speakers that I traded out for some polk db 6.5 coaxials that I had... That setup just isn't cutting it. I want to get loud, but I don't want to get ear blistering loud... Just high quality at high volumes... So that Cadence amp is okay? I have about $150 now and was looking to buy the amp this weekend to test before deciding on what speakers...

Which ones? the ZRS or CWM series? or both? lol the zrs damn... any other recommendations then? my budget is only $60-$8O a pair... I wanted to run a heavier speaker in the back doors for more mid-high bass/less highs and the front doors more mid-high to highs...

Which ones? the ZRS or CWM series? or both? lol

no other suggestions?
