I have a few questions.
I never really got to much into car audio till now and what I want is some nice sounding speakers with a small sub. (We can talk sub's later)

I was wondering what would I benefit from by using a cross over (which is a good one) and what is a good 4 channel amp for two 6x9's and two 3.5" speakers, both of which are the DB series.

Keep in mind, I'm will to spend the money for decent stuff, I'm not planning on cheapin out on anything, but I don't want to throw down $500 for a 4 channel amp.

Thanks for the help!

    Infinity Kappa series make EXCELLENT car speakers. Many car amps have crossovers built in. I've always had excellent luck with Kenwood amps, particularly the Excelon series; bulletproof, never get hot, last for years.

    Crossovers are pretty much obsolete. Most amps do a sufficient job!

    You dont need a crossover if youre running those speakers. You cant bi-amp them and they come with their own crossover network. Youd be better served saving that money and putting it toward a good quality amp.
