Hi there, just purchasing a new car stereo. I will be buying ONE amp and TWO pairs of speakers: the speakers will all be 6 1/2", as they're going in my 2005 Toyota Matrix. The amp will be powering these 4 speakers. Note that all 4 of these speakers will be door-mounted, at foot level...
The kappas are 75W RMS at 2 ohms, and have a top-mount depth of 2 3/16", so as far as I understand it those'll work fine in the back and front of my matrix.
The audiobahn amp is advertised as handling 150W RMS x 4 for 2 ohms, which is more than enough juice for these speakers. You can get detailed specs for the amp
here , although i'm buying it from ebay.
Questions
1. Are Audiobahn amps ok? This amp is cheap, ~$140USD shipped (new), so it doesn't have to be uber-awesome, just not crap (can't break on me in 3 years, should sound ok, should actually be stable at 2ohms as advertised)
2. Are these kappas cost-effective? Can I spend the same amount of money and get far better quality on some other brand, or can I spend considerably less and get almost as good quality?
I have no brand-preference for Inifinity or any other speaker, whatever people say sounds good is fine with me! For reference, i'm looking at paying ~$180USD for 4 62.7i kappas from ebay (new).
Please don't mention anything about subs: I already have a sub, and a separate amp for it, so that's already taken care of.
Many many thanks! The more feedback the merrier.
Please inform me of any store specials or whatnot, of speakers/amps you recommend. I live in Seattle area, Washington.
