Also, if your speakers are still good, theres no real need to reaplace.. I mean sooner or later it would be a good idea, just cause it would sound a lot better.. but theres no need if ya dont have the extra cash burning in your pocket.

yea i already did been having them since nov just never got to install them and i was gonna sell my car now im going all out so i want to install them...so it will still sound good right without new speakers... cause i mean at high volumes the sound is scratchy,,,would that be normal?

Cause that could make a big dif. One thing i would say, is turn the base down on the speakers when you get the subs in, that will alow the speakers to play harder an louder without bottoming out..

Try turn down the bass going to the speakers in your car...that may help the clipping. Sony HU's are "OK" but everything else they make SUCKS. If you think anything sony sounds good, you haven't heard a REAL system. Yes it is budget, but I bet you I could get a better sounding system for the same or cheaper price than what you paid. But since you already have the subs.....give each sub 300w that should last a month or so Woohoo you can set off car alarms and get pulled over.....I could do that with my old 10"
