i wish I could have the money is not a issue ...

IM poor and have to make boxes and amp racks and speakers myself. Well, not speakers but id thought id try.

Im a big fan of eclipse, alpine, kennwod and pioneer headunits. Im running Polk speakers and im happy with those. Pioneer and kicker amps and a JL audio sub. Im content.

hey man, if money isn't an issue and you got the room, just go with the 12"s! hehe, you can throw more power at them and they're lowder and in most cases hit lower notes than their relative 10" model but it's up to you!
hey IceShadow_04 how much are the eclipse titanium 10"s???

if money really isnt an issue, screw the 4x6s, 6x9s, get some nice components, like focal or Q series quarts or if you really got the dough go with dynaudio - that would be sweet. I love my 10W6s with Precision Power chrome amps and my Alpine 7949 deck.

I like to stick with 10's since their quicker, and the frequency range of a speaker listed, is often not what you get, a lot of things come into play, and a quality 10" will drop pretty low anyway, i had a single 88100DVC in my 94' and it sounded amazing, I would have got another for my 86' had i not got such a great deal on my Boston pro.

2 12" Eclipse Titanium subs will hit EXTREMELY hard and I guarantee you will have a hard time staying in the car if you turn it up. ( Thats if you are powering them right ) Eclipse compents are very clear. I would much rather have Infinity though.

check out www.buyloud.com for a good price on the eclipse, like i said, go with a pair of the 88100 DVC 10's and push em with a memphis 1000D, 550w rms to each, get the 3004, and step up to the infinity kappa, i wouldnt pay the extra for the perfects, my cousin had em, didnt seem worth the extra, but maybe it was the 4 Perfect 10's pounding from the Xtant 1001Xm off the hatch that too my attention from the front stage
