HAT Speakers for 2003 Chevy Trailblazer

[cdlowe]

I have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer that I want to build a good sound system.

I currently have the following equipment I could use if needed.

An Alpine CDA-9805 and Panasonic CQ-C7303U radios and the following amps

A NVX-MVP4 and a Soundstream D100 and 2 D60's.

My budget is $1000 for equipment. Will deaden doors.

I plan on running 1 Sundown Audio E-10 and Hybrid Audio Speakers.

Either the Imagines or Unity components

I could run the components passive or active

Also plan on running just the front stage and the sub

Just wondering what differents ideas were out there regarding this.

Thanks for any help

Just found a Kicker ZX300.1 mono amp.

Forget we even had it

If me I would grab some unity , make sure you spend the money and get second skin product, I would use the d100 for mids the d60 for tweeters pick up a pioneer 80prs run active with the kicker on the sundown sub.aslong as you understand active you should be good to go.bet it would sound nice.how well do the soundstream amps work? Have they been tested?

[Soccerballzs]

Why are you stuck on HATS? Other brands that are just as good.

[cdlowe]

As far as picking the Hybrids.

They are a local company (in the same state)

Only 2 high end speakers sold in town are the Focal and Hybrid

Dont really have time to travel 2+ hours to audition car audio due to work and family commitments

Biggest thing of all, liked the smooth natural sound of the Hybrid

Havent mess with car audio for myself in 10-15 years

Been helping my oldest son with subs but thats it

Thanks dolarbilz for the suggestions

Thats exactly the way I've been leaning

Do you think the Sundown would be a good sq sub ?

Also may change amps to newer models down the road

Just trying to work within my budget

[dolarbilz]

I'm not sure on the sundown sub, never heard one , but I'm sure it will be just fine for you. everybody Sq is different, are you going for a tripple points champion? I dought it. Start simple work with what you have,grow from there.

[cdlowe]

What would be a reasonable sq sub for the HAT's ?

The Sundown is $125

Would one 10" be good to use ?

Most threads I have read have 2-10's or 1-12" ?

why not run one of there subs? ..... and just a f.y.i if you are direct replacing the speakers in the doors without modifications 6.5 will not fit unless mine were 6.75 can't remember

[cdlowe]

When I got the vehicle, 3 of 4 door speakers were blown.

I replaced them with RE Audio REX6.5 speakers.

I has to the modify the plastic mounting pieces on the doors.

Cant remember the depth though
