I have an old high-power Sony CD deck in the car now, and some old blown out speakers.
I am not looking for great sound, just decent. Able to hear music with the top off without it being distorted. Don't want anything too flashy on the dash, and using factory speaker boxes.


Receiver:

Pioneer MVH-S322BT
Watts Per Channel 50 watts
RMS Power 22 watts

OR

Alpine UTE-73BT
built-in MOSFET amplifier (18 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels)
crutchfield.com/p_500UTE73BT/Alpine-UTE-73BT.html?mfr=&fromlanding=1

With these speakers:

Infinity Kappa 4"x6" 2-Way Loudspeakers

OR

Pioneer - 4" x 6" - 3-way

Thanks

Just a head unit...they were OK, but I did add a pair of up-firing 3.5" 2-ways in a custom center console. That helped a LOT with top-off driving. At one time I had a 150w powered 6.5" bazooka just in front of the passenger seat too.

I've been rebuilding the car the last 10+ years and will go with 6.5" low profile in the 914rubber pods, stock location. Probably keep my 3.5" center 'armrest' console and a new super thin Pioneer sub mounted behind my engman passenger side foot rest. So we'll see how much better that will be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
