I think the record is around 177db......you won't see much movement in that number, since 180 is about the limit.
Need advice on my sound system - 6G Celicas Forums
The world record is 175.5 dB using Fifteen Cerwin Vega Stroker 12's, in a 1974 VW Bus by Team Pure Sound...
A noted mention should always go out to Team Gates (Alma Gates) she has won numerous SPL events using Kicker subs.

Of all the speakers you guys list, none of them are 6.75 in. Focal, DB Quartz, etc. What 6.75 Component speakers can you suggest- if you don't like Polk.
Focal owns, if you have the money >

Yeah, I had already seen both polk, hadn't caught the MTX or the Alpine (but both have power ranges too low)
and will the 6.5 ?s fit??
and thank you very much for listing them >>

6.5" will fit fine... if worst comes the worst make a trim plate... even 8's will fit with small small modifications.
Not much fits stock area. Make a plate like my "How-To."
I have elemental designs e12o.44's and they are pretty much as good if not better than JL w6's.
I have a set of pioneer ts-c160r's in front, and they sound good...but I will probably switch them out for some Image Dynamics Chamelions.
In the rear, i have pioneer ts-d170r's (6.75 inch) and they fit right in.
For amps: I recommend Crossfire, Tsunami. I also had a phoenix gold that was pretty awesome, but they are really overpriced.
Conclusion:
a) get some image dynamics components if u have the money... also look at focal 165k's.
b) for subs: elemental designs, all the way. efficient, well priced.
c) for amps: whatever you want... just make sure it does its rated power and look for RMS, not MAX power.

If all you want is to be able to hear good quality sound at speed, try amplifing a pair of decent quality 6 x 9s on a custom rear shelf made out of plywood or similar as it will enhance the bass and mid range and use a 10 inch sub moulded to the side of the trunk and mount the amp to the underside of the shelf. this will leave you some usable space. check out my profile to see what i done, i drive a hatchback but it might give you some ideas.
Best o luck >

Convertible, I need to hear decent quality sound with the top down and speed >>

component systems in the front and back would be best w/ one 10" sub
have fun >>

I agree with celimanST ... Gowith components front and back, and add a 10" to the trunk ... It will give you the thump and nice sound even with the top down ...

Uhm ... Just because you have components in the back doesnt mean you have to have more wattage there then in the front ? >

No Yobbe you misunderstood... Let me clarify.
NO COMPONENTS IN THE BACK, the tweeter positioning will throw off the curve.
And when I meant the front wattage is to be higher I meant in general.

Oh well ... I just have a thing against coaxials i guess... I am sure they can be nice for rear fill ....
Uhh, where are you supposed to put the tweeters in the back?
DO NOT USE SEPERATES, having experience by helping to build 2 iasca winning vehicles in the past, it is A WELL KNOWN fact that coaxials create a far superior rear fill for staging than seperates, if you dont believe me do a search on the web... or goto www.carsound.com's forums and ask Richard Clark.
Coaxials are far superior for rear fill than seperates, seperates will almost DEFINATELY throw off your staging...
I think i repeated myself once again...

What is the difference between coaxials and component speakers?
I thought component speakers had 2 drivers, usually a midrange and small tweeter.
As for coaxial, is this the type of cable you use to wire it?

Yeah.. far as I know, Coaxial is a type of cabling used in TV.. also refered to as RF or F type.
Coaxial's in car audio refer to a driver with a tweeter in the center...
e.g;
That is a coaxial. MbQuart btw.
