Need help deciding on new system

Hey guys, I need a little help deciding on a new system. Currently I'm running a Pioneer headunit, Kenwood 6x9's out back (220 Watts each), and I havent yet decided what to get up front, probably Focal's, Infinity Kappas, or JL TR 650's. Of all of those, they each run 60 watts RMS, 75 and 60. They're all in about the same price range, about $100 for the set. I'll be playing alot of hip hop and spanish music, I need some opinions on which sound best for these types of music?

What would be a good amp to run the 6x9's and 6.5"s?


Second I'm getting rid of two Rockford Fosgate 12's I have and the Kenwood Excelon Amp and going with a new set up, for space reasons. I want to get a good pair of 10's and a new amp to push them so I wont take up as much trunk space.


Anyone looking to upgrade and trade in their 10's and/or amp + cash? PM me if interested, I'll give you the specs on the subs and amp.

I have a set of Diamond Audio M3 coaxials in front and I am very pleased with the sound. The best coaxials I've heard. They are not as good as components (I will probably upgrade to Diamond Audio M6 or HEX components later), but the M3s are around the same price range you are looking at.

I am running mine off an older Phoenix Gold amp and I have had very good luck with PG and PPI amps in the past.
