I'm back for some more advice. I've been looking around for some door/rear speakers with an amp. On this forum I was pointed to the CDT CL-6X since the EF-61 speakers are "big" that it might not fit my doors. The CL-6X are 80wrms. Since I'm a fan of Kicker I checked out the Kicker DX60 50wrms for the rears. Both speakers are 4ohms. I looked on ikesound.com for a 4-channel amp, and I found the Kicker KX350.4.   60W x 4 @ 4 Ohms RMS.   Would that amp be good for both of those speakers??? Or do I need something bigger???

Would you pick another amp and rear speakers, or would that combination be good??? I might change my mind about the kicker amp, but would the (60w x4 @ 4ohms be good enough, or something higher)???? I currently have (2) 12" Kicker CVR's with a JBL GTO1201.1 amp. 787wrms @ 4ohms. The headunit is a Pioneer DEH-P9600MP.So I want my highs & mids to sound nice and clean. Am I picking wrong stuff for that kind of sound???

Or if you were me, would you run the kicker dx60 off the hu, and buy a set of tweeters and use the other channel for those??? Or would those CDT's make the highs loud and clear???

thanks

I'd use a matching JBL amp over a Kicker amp anyday.
Again, CDT over Kicker, anyday.
What sort of mouting locations do you have? I've used the EF stuff (I mighta been the one that told you how big that speaker was) and the speakers *were* quite sizable.
I mean.. any given aftermarket speaker will give you "loud and clean" it all kinda depends on nuance and how clean.
It kinda sounds like your making this too complicated.
Try a JBL 4-channel to match your GTO1201.1, then mate it to CDT coaxials, especially for rear-fill.. I wouldn't both with EF stuff that's gonna sit behind your seat in doors..

This kind of confuses me..? I plan on putting the CDT CL-6X 80wrms speakers in my doors and running them off an amp. I was going to go with those 50wrms Kicker DX60 speakers for the rears, since I want more watts up front. But you said the CDT's are better than Kicker but I took it you said I shouldn't put a 2nd pair of CDT's for the rear. Then, which would be a good set of 6 1/2" speakers for the rear that you'd recommend? As you know, I'll be running the rears off the amp, too. Should I get a set of speakers that are close enough in watts as the front, or something really small? I'm not trying to make it complicated, I just want to make sure I get good speakers that will give me good sound over the CVR's.

I found a JBL GTO75.4 amp that puts out 104wrms x4 @ 4ohms for the fronts & rears.

Thanks.

Also the vehicle is a saturn sc1, only got 2 doors. the rear speakers in the back glass are 6 1/2, too.

Maybe that might help a little.
