    I've got a brand spanky new Pioneer system i just put in my 11 Prerunner. I got the JBL adapter to get by for a while and immediately realized that its going to be out the door very soon. Mind you its a marked improvement over the factory HU and sound is better, but its still missing the highs and lows.

    All that said I've got a few things floating around that i'd like to reuse if possible and i'm as a loss as to what to match with them so i don't spend a fortune on new stuff.

    The list:

    Kicker KX650.4 AMP - 120 x 4 or 325 x 2 Bridged RMS 4ohm
    MB Quart DSC 480 AMP - 80 x 4 or 320 x 2 Bridged RMS 4ohm
    MB Quart PVI-269 Component 6x9s - 50W RMS / 220 peak 4ohm
    MB Quart DKH 169 6x9s - 60W RMS / 140 peak 4ohm

    The MB Quart gear was in my old Camry and it sounded great. It was taken out before i sold it and has been collecting dust for years now. I'm not outright opposed to buying new gear, but why buy it if i don't have to?

    I'm looking for good bass, but not ghetto plate rattler style. Just clean deep bass that will bump when i want it. I listen to a lot of EDM so i need the lows. I also love the highs so some clean tweeters are ideal. The MB Quarts I had were awesome. anything that good or better would be great.

    Initial thoughts:

    Reuse the MB Quart AMP to power MB Quart 6x9 comps and buy new 6.5s for the rear doors since they wont fit 6x9s.

    Reuse the Kicker AMP with a new box/sub setup behind the rear seats. Thinking 2 10s with an amp rack on the box in the middle.

    Whats your thoughts?

    use the amp and components on the front doors, ignore the rear doors
