Looking to put a system in my "new" car. 94 mercury sable. Calls for 6.5s and 5x7s. Have an nvx jad 800.4 4 channel. Outputs 125x4 at 4 ohms. What speakers would pair well. This does use the same internals as one of the polk amps.

    Before you worry about tunes, replace the rear struts and springs before they break on you. That is unless you like the saggy a$$ look. Make sure there's no front subframe rot too...

    Been on there, just hoping that you guys would have recommendations on matching amps to speakers

    The car is in great shape, 1 owner car and well looked after. Grandpa gave it to me. Will be doing ball joints and bushings soon though. gmvtzqqss3cq.jpg

    That's not too super critical in car audio (amp matching). I'd focus on the front with some components and add a 8" sealed sub. Don't forget sound deadening.

    Got a box of dynamat or the like, the mercury is already heavily deadened at least in the rear deck lid. And im thinking dual 10s in a ported box, as I have them already and 1200 rms.

    And components are the route i plan to go. Just was told by a friend who does car audio for a living that that amp is too much for most speakers.

    At least in home audio, there is really no such thing...

    That is BS, most quality aftermarket speakers will be perfectly fine behind that amp. Most amps today don't hit their rated or advertised numbers without clipping. If you care about SQ at all, cut the number of subs in half and build the best box you can for it.

    Custom box for my 10w7 is in the works, after i get it rebuilt. And ok, fair enough, will get what seems to be a good buy and a good speaker.

    Yeah the hard part about car audio is no way to audition before hand. The good part, it doesn't matter as much compared to home audio.

    Polk makes decent speakers, Focal is good. I enjoy my RE Audio Reference components, the silk dome is a great tweeter. I find there has to be more synergy between head unit and speakers than amps.

    Right now I just have an old Kenwood head unit I had laying around, and some rockford prime 6x8s driven by the head unit just to replace the dry rotred paper cones in back. Will hold off on the fronts till I double din and amp and get something I know will be good up there. Looking at ct sounds digital designs, but ill look into those cody suggested, and polks are always an option.
