Infinity speakers by contrast suck.... components are the way to go for best sound... I would recommend a CDT ES-62 set but need to know budget. As for the rears most SQ system do not run that at all, for good reason, all they do is pull the stage back which is bad. |

However there's still some great options below it. As M.S. said, don't run rear speakers. You're just wasting your money. I would personally recommend running a single set of components up front and switching from 6x9's to 6.5's. By getting rid of the rears though and just adding that into your budget for the fronts, you'll end up with a much higher quality system. Also you'll only need a 2-channel amp rather than a 4-channel amp for your speakers. Feel free to email me at mike@exigeaudio.com for more info on how to get your system setup right. I'll be happy to give you a few pointers. I noticed that deadening mat was not mentioned in your original post. I would definitely recommend it to increase midbass. |
