I'm checking out this sub right now,
http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/p ... g=en&tab=F
only thing is its rating is 1000watts rms 3000watts peak, and the amp puts out 1500, so is that no good or what?

Hey guys, I just finished putting my system in, and damn is it loud! but now I'm facing a new dilema, the factory speakers just aren't cutting it. So I will be upgrading them soon. Thing is though, I don't even know where to start when it comes to upgrading speakers, does anyone know of any good tutorials on that? The guy at the local shop recommended the kickerzx200.4, and I don't remember which speakers he pointed out. If anyone has any info to steer me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
thanks

good amp. don't really need more than 50x4 typically for full range components.
Pick good front stage speakers. They produce 70% of your sound, and are more important in my opinion, than the subs.
Rear fill.. well.. see the FAQ for my thoughts on rear speakers.

check out the
"good, bad, ugly" thread for a good take on good speakers then you can take in account your price range from there.

Ok, so I did some reading, and I'm thinking of running two Kicker 05DS525's for the rear, and two Kicker KS5.2's in the front.
Another question, can a guy just use the factory wires that are running in the doors to the factory speakers, or is it recommended to run new wires? and if so, how much of a pain in the ass is it to run new wiring in the doors?

You can use the factory wiring if you aren't amplifying them. If you are amping, run new wires.
