My girlfriend just ordered me a set of 8" Kicker RMB8 Mid-Bass speakers for our anniversary, because mine are blown and sound crappy. So, these should be more than enough to take the old speakers' place.
 Only one question to those who have them installed, like chucho- Are you still using factory wiring from the stock amps to power the new speakers sufficiently, or did you opt to use an aftermarket amp instead? Obviously ill get more presence if i used an aftermarket amp to power them, but i just wanted to see who was using what, and what your opinions are. Thanks. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

Alright thanks guys. I have a 10" Polk sub in my trunk right now powered by a bridged Blaupunkt amp, or around 150w x 2 if were to use for the 8"....that amp is tiny and its under my passenger seat so maybe ill just get a more powerful amp for the 10" and run the 8"s off of my existing amp.
Chucho, I wasnt sure if the factory amps and stock wiring gauge was strong enough to make use of a high-end speaker, but i think I'll just amplify them as soon as I get them installed. Good luck with yours and let us know how it sounds.
