hey guys, i ran a few systems in the past but never had a component set. so my new sub/amp combo will be 2 12" vega vmax subs, in a ported box. running on a kx1200.1 amp. they will be going into a 1997 lincoln town car. i beleive the door speakers are 6x8.
i want to keep the speaker hidden in the doors.
im not to sure how much a set goes for but i dont want to pay more then $300-$400 components set and amp, i dont mind getting used gear. so what im asking is what do u guys rec for a component set? and what amp for run them?
Thanks

new to the forum, but I have a small trouble deciding since I've been out of car audio for so long.
current system pretty much dates me to 2001 except for the subs which are recent replacements.
Xtant 3150c
Focal 130k
Clarion HX-D10 deck
Xtant P500 parametric
Hertz ES200 8" subs x2
Lately, the Focal 130K cuts in and out. don't think the drivers are blown since they sound great when they work, but rust on the connections are probably the culprit...given that the speakers are 12 years old, won't kill me to replace now.
since the shop I dealt with sold me Hertz subs, they are recommending the Hertz Hi Energy HSK 165 components to replace my Focal's
would I be happy with the Hi Energy Coxials instead? My current focal's have the tweeter mounted in front of the the woofer like a coaxial anyways.
Life and family as I mentioned don't really let me indulge like I used to upgrade to Focal's and I'm hearing the newer lines are much brighter.
if the difference is noticeable, then my wife won't mind me paying more than double for the HSK components but saving $200 is still saving $200 to get the Hi Energy Coaxials instead?
