Default My setup - reccs?

IVE ONLY ORDERED THE HEAD UNIT ---

alpine ida-x305 - 18 RMS Watts/50 peak x 4 channels
Specs -


Polk Audio db651s 6 1/2 speakers (front) - 6-55 RMS Watts
Specs -



I plan on getting an amp and rear speakers (possibly).
With this setup and an amp in the future, will do good with sound being clear and loud?

Ive read the FAQ and just suck at audio, i hope im matching up the appropriate speakers with HU and whatnot. I don't understand it all really.


On another note - do you have guys have specs/brand/model of the amp i should be looking for to accommodate my setup? I want to stay under $200 if possible.

Why do people insist on asking for advice AFTER they've already ordered their stuff?

Nothing against you, Murder...but this is really just an outlet for you to brag about what you're going to install. Kudos...but...please, don't try to present it as a request for assistance...

no. i apologize if it comes off like that.

I have not orderd these yet, its more the less "sitting in a cart" waiting to be ordered before i comfirm.

The HU is the ONLY thing ordered so far - my fault that i used wrong wordering.

Get this AMP.
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_020DPX2251/Cl...howAll=Y&tp=115
Great reviews from everyone.
Looks great, very efficient and runs cool.
Does every bit of its rated power.
You might not need all that power to run the front speakers but this amp can also be used to power a sub.
And since you are looking to get an amp, please buy a set of comps for the front.
You won't be happy with those polk coaxials.

ARC Audio used to be great. They've gone downhill a bit since their glory days, but still a solid choice.

As for components vs coaxials...components generally offer better sound quality due to the external crossover.
