Compnents or just speakers?
Compnents or just speakers? Lookin to replace entire system, going to get a new head unit and an amp to power the speakers.....should I go with 2 component systems or just get 4 6.5's?

definately aggree with these guys - components rock! just installed my jl audio xr-650csi set up front and jl audio xr-650cxi set in the sails, runnin off the stock amp (for now...about to get the jl audio 300/4 a/b amp when all the planets line up and i get a few extra bones in the bank). but the components and coaxials sound incredible just like they are now.
one thing to remember - be careful when u wire ur woofers up front -when my buddy an i were installing them, we found that the red/black and red wires going to the stockers changed colors twice as we traced them back into the car.

I plan on running all new wires from the amp to the speakers......what about getting a component system for both front and rear, overkill? Not worth the extra $$$???
Components front AND rear is a waste. You want your soundstage coming from the front. Anything from the rear is basically just fill. Might be nice if you have passengers...other than that, not neccessary. Coax's or even just a 6.5 mid bass is fine for the sails. Run with a quality set of components in the doors with a quality amp running them and you'll be very happy. I run a set of Boston Acoustic Rally Series components through a RF Power series 500.5 amp. Loud and clear sound with powerful mids/crisp highs and vocals. Any components from JL, Boston, MB Quart, CDT, Focal will do you right the first time without having to upgrade or take the door panels off again. Just make sure they have the seperate crossover. I saw some cheap JL Audio "components" that had a cap built into the tweeter like a coax but nothing for the 6.5 mid bass. They might sound ok but I stick with what I know!! Good luck!!
