[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433870, member: 18789"] I would pretty much never run speakers straight off the head unit, high level just never sounds that great esp when you turn it up loud enough to hear in a Jeep. When I got my YJ I did a decent pioneer unit, 4x6 dash replacements, 6x9s in pods that go between the wheel wells and roll bar B pillars, and then 2 10’s, all driven by a cheap Boss 5 channel amp (poor high schooler). Back then I didn’t know much about balance, the 2 10s were way too much. I also didn’t know about component speakers then. This time the plan is Kicker component 5.25” speakers up front, tweeters mounted to the door strap peg. Crossovers to power those. A set of good quality 6x9s in the pods again, abs then 1 10” sub in a sonopod behind the back seat. Using 2 miniature class D amps (4 channel and 1 channel) mounted to top of sonopod and hidden under a Tuffy trunk enclosure. Should sound considerably better, and hopefully more balanced than last time with better results and more quality components. [/QUOTE]
