Default Audio?

I posted this in the Audio section but like zero replys so I was hoping some of yall could help me

ok so im tryin to redue my whole audio system, iv got my headunit and subs now my problem is amps and door speakers

Head-Unit: [/color]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/pictures.php?id=6917[/color]
[*]Peak Power Output:[/color]50 watts x 4 chan.

[/align][*]RMS Power Output:20 watts x 4 chan.

[/align][*]Preamp/RCA Outputs:3 Pair - Front, Rear, Sub

[/align][*][color=#3f59a4]Preamp Voltage:[/font][/font]2.5 volts


Subs:2 12"EclipseSW8200[*]RMS power handling: 670W[*]Max. power handling: 2000W[*][font=arial]12" Subwoofer[*][font=arial]Single 4 Ohm


Now my problem is what kind of door speakers should i get? Size? Watt?
Id like to get eclipse brand.

I guess the harder of them all what kind/type of amp should i get?Im gonna have 2 12" Eclipse SW8200 subs in the trunk sothats 1350 RMS Watts.I have no clue about what RMS means and what watt is needed for each speaker or what the Ohm's r. completely ignorant on this part. Specifics would be great. Thanks guys

RMS are how much it could put out continously for a long time that is recomended by the manufacturer,while max is how much it could put out in one quick moment. As for what brand of speaker, what is your budget?

Door speakers: Pioneer TS-A6871R (Bestbuy, Circuit city, Walmart) 60 bucks at walmart for the pair and they sound great!
Amp: Go for Kenwood or pioneer, cuz they are the ****tt imo youre gonna want about 2000 watts max 1400 rms.... just try to match the max and rms up between the subs and amp the best you can

well i cant say there isnt a budget because there is, but im willing to spend 2-3 grand to get it done, ill jsut by the pieces at a time if there farely expensive.

brand, id like to keep the whole system eclipse audio. but i know my head unit isnt eclipse. so i guess door speakers: eclipse and amps god only knows, just not legacy or mtx. thanks

your speakers are all 6x8s

as for the amp... get a 2000 max, 1500rms(or something similar)amp running to both subs... no need to run 2 amps

the amp doesnt take power from your stereo, the stereo will push the speakers just fine.... it takes it directly from your battery, the only thing that the amp connects to the stereo is the system control or rem (name depends on the brand), and the rca's... pushing that much power tho youre gonna need a capacitor so it doesnt drain your battery...otherwise your headlights and **** are gonna flicker with the bass cuz it draws so much power out of the battery
