i need help. :help:
i want to set up a new system witout going overkill.i keep getting different answers to my same questions.i have a 96 grand-am,(6x9@110 rms rear),and (4x6@60w rms front).i am going to use an alpine hu @ 18 rms.can i use infinity kappas here without an amp,and if i need an amp can someone reccomend a good one with the correct wattage needed.i'm also open for a suggestion on maybe different speakers but i do want quality but not overkill.thank you all and happy listening.

you will be fine, but with a good amp, them speakers will perform better, give you better overall sound and clarity.. your best bet is a 4channel amp that does around 50-100rms x 4.

Although you may want to rethink amping the rear stage speakers and concentrate on the front stage... think about getting an adapter plate for the 4x6" to 5.25 and throw in a good set of coaxials or even better components and amp them... then you will not be overwhelmed by music from behind. Just my 2 cents :)

where would i find the correct adapter to install 5-1/4 components in a 96 grand-am in the doors,they call for 4x6's ? or should i make them?would mdf be ok?

lol

You are always better off to make them if you have the ability, as aftermarket speaker adapters are usually very flimsy and kinda a one size for a bunch of applications.
And Yeah, MDF is a great thing to use for building them... If you wanna get really into it... build them up and in (directional) and you can even glass/ paint or carpet
