Need speaker pros
Im Looking to upgrade my current sound system
First here is my current setup:
Sub - Kicker CVT12 @ 400W RMS @ 2OHM
Sub Amp - Kicker ZX400.1 @ 400W RMS @ 2OHM
Speakers - KFC-1651S @ 25W OR SOMETHING
Speakers AMP - MTX 4004 SPECS BELOW
Headunit - P3000IB, outputs i think 15W to nothing, maybe tweeters later
These are the specs of my speakers amp:
Power Output: 50 Watts RMS x 4 channels at 4 Ohms ≤ 1% THD+N
Signal-to-Noise Ratio: 80 dBA (reference: 1 W output)
Additional Power Output: 100 Watts RMS x 4 channels at 2 Ohms ≤ 1% THD+N
200 Watts RMS x 2 channels bridged at 4 Ohms ≤ 1% THD+N
THD+N (Distortion): <0.25% (reference: 1 W output)
Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz (-3dB)
Maximum Input Signal: 5V
Maximum Sensitivity: 100mV

First, I want to change out the speakers to something that will hit to maximize my amp, right now the doors are
only getting 25w and thats nothing for my amp, so i need some better speakers. I have stock wiring in the speaker
location, and my own wiring from speaker location to amp, i was thinking if i got regular speakers i could use the
wire from amp to speakers, and i would need to get some tweeters and use the stock wiring that wuold come from the
deck to power these..or i could just get a component system and do something with that and leave the stock wiring.
Im not familiar with component systems, but from what i have read i guess its just a speaker and a tweeter,
seperate, instead of being together..but since i have stock wiring and other wiring to amp wouldnt it be better to
have regular speakers(with tweeters in them) and then another pair of tweeters?
These are the speakers ive been looking at so tell me what you all think.

I would go with the alpine components. not a huge fan on rockfords punch and never really grew partial to kicker.
and i really don't think it would sound too great if you hooked up "regular two way speakers" as well as your stock tweeters.

i would go with infinity... i don't have the reference speakers... i have the kappa... which is the final step up from reference.... i use those all the way around... have 2 alpine amps, and a cap for the subs...i have 3 stock highs in dash that i left alone... did the whole nine.. soundproofing and all... sounds like you are in the front row in a concert next to the speakers if you like it that high!!

I would run the alpine Components up front, and a coaxial set in the rear...
I would do this...
Run alpine Type R components up front. bridge your amp to power them. use your head unit to power a set of alpine type S coaxials in the rear, just for fill.
the type R's have great tweeters and solid mids. the cross over will handle separating the mids and highs, so you dont have to worry about that.
I think that setup would make you the happiest.
