nismo13807

hello, so im deciding on my audio setup and need some help... im NOT going to run rear subwoofers.. the music i mainly listen to is edm, rap, and R&b... so i have a couple of speaker/component setup that i need help deciding with and what amp to go with it... (yes i know rear speakers is not necessary)

so far i have..

-pioneer avic 8100 nex HU
-Metra 40-NI12 Antenna Cable
-Metra 70-7552 Radio Wiring Harness
-zenclosures front Speaker Spacers
-4g sub power and ground wire
-12g front and rear speak wires


need help deciding on which speaker setup

ID CXS64 V.2 front components
ID CTX4 rear speaker

or

Focal K2 power 165 KR front components
focal ISC 100 rear speaker

no clue on what amp to run.. so any help would be greatly appreciated.. also if there is anything im missing/need or change.. please let me know also..
i will do all the install.. but for amp tuning, i am bringing it to the professionals..

My opinion...out of the 2 component sets you listed, I would go with the Focals. That being said, they are overpriced for sure. Before I spent that kind of coin, I would look at The hertz hsk 165xls.
Amp recommendation.... A nice 4 channel at 100w rms x 4 Soundstream PN4.520D

Of the mention speakers I would go focal also...but why no sub? The music you listen too, and any music really sounds much better with a sub.

You can do a small sub 8" or 10" sub

I never used Focal, but I hear good things. I use to run ID 8's and a pair of their CD2-COMP horns in my 95 Hardbody. They were amazing once I got the tuning right.

I have focals in my 370z components on my front doors and nothing in rear panels and a pair of image dynamics 2 12" idmax subs

i would not even think about the focals if i was to pay retail haha but i have a decent deal for it.. im just unsure because i couldnt find much reviews on it.. maybe like u said.. its overpriced?

maybe futher down the road i might add a sub? reason being the car is a weekend/track car and taking off and on the sub and box for every track and autocross event is a bit of a hazel.. trust me i do like subs lol.. but as of now i just want better and louder speakers since my exhaust covers my music when im normal driving

which model focal components do u have and how u like it?

Yea they are a little over priced but you can look on amazon or ebay, just make sure the are authentic and also another good brand is hertz

If he goes with the K2 focals or the CXS ID's and amps them there is no need for a sub unless he wants deep bass. Those speakers handle loew frequencies then a lot of cheaper component speakers. Those two sets get my vote. Oh and 12 gauge wire for speakers is WAY overkill get some 16 gauge. A good budget amp is the RF prime series 2 channel 150 amp. Or you can step up to a nicer amp like the JL XD200/2v2

ok I will change the wires to 16g..thanks
for the amps u recommended.. it seems like a 2 channel.. im trying to amp not only my front components but also my rear coaxials speakers

RonRizz

which is why you want a 4 channel.

right.. and that's why im leaning toward the Soundstream PN4.520D as u mentioned a few post up..
does this amp have enough power to maximize the protential of both speakers without stressing/heating up the amp?

bigaudiofanat

You should honestly just run the rears off your head unit and save your money. For a 3 inch speaker they aren't going to take much voltage to begin with. But then again I wouldn't run rears at all in a Z.
