Default Speaker and Amp questions

hey i was wondering what are some of the best speakers for vocals for front and back. i dont care about bass at all for my speakers because i plan on getting a 10inch or a tube. i just want some real good quality speakers for vocals that i can turn up loud.

also, would i need a 4 channel amp to power both front and back?
how many amps would i need to power front speakers, back speakers, tweeters, and a sub?

get a good 4 channel amp around 400-600 rms I would go with a good set of components for up front cadence diamond audio mmats polk etc if your really not interested in a lot of bass you could just get an amplified bass tube

for highs I like (diamond audio, focal, alpine, pioneer, and of course mb quart)

for the sub I believe (kicker, rockford fosgate, eclipse, cerwin vega)

Amps well lets see u want two one to power each set highs and lows
(u could also get a 5 channel amp to power it all...)

high's (Alpine, PPI, Eclipse, Memphis audio, Kenwood)

low's (Kicker, JL audio, Eclipse, Rockford Fosgate, Soundstream...)

just some suggestions

i think you want some SQ huh? for front staging use a nice 3 way component speaker like the JL audio's XR653-CS or ZR650CSi, Focal components, Infinity kappa perfect & if u want a 4 channel amp, use a good 75x4 amp like JL audio, rockford fosgate, precision power & kicker with a 8 awg power cable is enough to power the components & the 10 inch subwoofer, dont forget to use a 1/5 farad or 1 farad capacitor

50x4 is more then enough.....u could go 75x4, but 600watts rms??? yeah ok swaytech


50x4 from a cheap amp is going to be way way way more then 50x4 on a really good head unit

oh btw...if you want your system to sound good get more then a bass tube....theres a difference between ear deafening bass and good sound quality. Your gonna need some bass to match your highs....1 12" inch would be nice

600 watts RMS?? He doesnt need 200 watts to his interiors.

100 watts RMS is fine for almost any set of speakers. Hell, the 3500 type x components alpine makes only take 75 watts rms. THere is a difference between power and clarity. If something needs that much, their craftsman ship sucks.

yeah i have MB quart right now for the front and rear. i dont know what series they are though. i have a rockford 2 channel amp...so its only powering the front right? well when i turn it up loud i hear the bass making weird noises. also i think the speaker grill in my 98 hatch rattles a lot especially in the back. when i set the volume at a quiet setting it sound pretty good though.
