[QUOTE="Vanquish, post: 186219, member: 84"] PB, That's a pretty nice set-up but I'd make some changes if I were you since you're spending a tidy sum of money there. 1. The Tru Tech amp that he's offering - is that the new Billet series or the old T series ? What's the power rating on those ? Any other options within the same price range ? Aim for a minimum of 4 x 50W RMS ( true wattage, not the hyped PMPO figures ) though more would be ideal! 2. Component speakers - I'm not a huge fan of Focals but the Polyglass are entry/mid level comps from Focal. What I'd do is switch the rears to a pair of co-axials for both cost and practicality reasons. In any set-up, the rear speakers act mainly as rear-fill unit and not main speakers. Can you imagine vocals coming from the back and front at the same time ? It's like having a band playing in front and at the back of you at the same time in a concert. The extra cash that I'd save from the switch will be channeled to front components - the most important set of drivers in any set-up. I'll aim a little higher and probably settle for the Focal K2P series comps instead with the extra cash. The bass tube while being no match for a stand alone sub in a proper enclosure - will be adequate unless you're looking for some serious bass definition. That equals to an additional amp and a separate sub unit plus some loss in boot space real estate. There are a number of bass tube users here and most of them are pretty happy with their performance. It's pretty much an issue of personal taste and preference at the end of the day. Cheers, VaN. [/QUOTE]
