first cost? Im looking to get around 90-100 Watts to each and I already have a amp in the back so I can use the same power wire and remote wire.. 2 sets of RCA's from HU to back? and then the speakers to the back? or should I do midway under a seat or something.. also good amps for under $200

thx

I'm not sure if you meant you want to power a pair of speakers, or your non-sub speakers? For a pair, I'd get This (http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=alpmrvt420&store=&catid=303)

For all 4, I'd get This (http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=alpmrpf240&store=&catid=303).

Kinda limited on options for under $200 if you want to power all 4.

From my experience with JBL in car audio... their name from home audio carries the sales more than the quality of their stuff. In car audio, I would say JBL is inferior to Alpine, and Infinity. I would put it more in line with Sony here than with the names it typically competes with in the home audio market.

woah woah woah, let me get this straight a sec...

that JBL pushes more than this v12 (http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/item_info?p_item_name=MRV-F345&p_category=40&p_subcategory=120&p_main=10&p_more=y) and costs almost half?? wtf is up with that...

thats not correct because the JBL makes the 104RMS @ 14.4V while the Alpine makes 100RMS @ 12V. so if u plan on buying something to upgrade ur electrical system to produce 14.4V all the time, i wouldnt waste my money on the JBL... the Alpine makes more power.
