As far as subs go I would recommend either the Boston or JL. I have a buddy that just put a 10" Boston G5 in the back of an s2k and it sounds amazing!

Your setup looks good so far.

I can't find specs on that Audiobahn a1801x.... how much power does it put out and at what ohm load?? This will help you decide on what subs to get....


I personally prefer Elemental Designs for their price/performace ratio and customer service/tech support...

My personal opinion and first hand experience with that amp is that it is garbage. But hey, if you like it and it fits your needs, than more power to you.

The speakers are coaxials, so i wouldnt recommend putting them in the front. You'll have to put them in the back, which you'll barely be able to hear. And they are only rated at 50W RMS, so it won't take too much to blow them out.

A coaxial speaker is actually better suited in the front. Since our cars have tweeters in the doors as well, this will help broaden out the frequency range. Coaxial speaker will suit you just fine in the front. As far as only being rated at 50 watts rms, it depends if they'll be run off an external amp or your head unit. They will sound better run off an external amp, but nobody is going to push too far over 50 watts on a coaxial speaker. If you plan on running them off your headunit, you shouldn't have any problems.

Coaxial is actually not better suited in the front if your looking to run some real power through the speakers. In this case you'll have to upgrade to another set of components. That stock tweeter will blow right out. I have actually almost blown the stock tweeter out with just an Eclipse headunit at around 18W RMS.

I went a different route and ditched the audiobahn and got

-Eclipse 5100 Head unit
-Fosgate 450.4 chanel amp
-Fosgate 350.1chanel amp
2-boston acoustic G5 woofers
-focal 130V2 components
-Fosgate farad capacitor
-4 gauge amp kit W/ 3 rca's
-maddico complete tint
-labor/instll

I got a no payment /just like cash finance foor $1800.00


so hopefully I"ll be happy with this system
I'll post pics when its installed ........the subs will be in bassforms....

You are going to love the fosgate 250.4, I am currently pushing that for my components and it is nothing short of amazing. PLus the fosgate amps are way underrated, so you actually have room to grow with them.
