What I've got so far:

Car - 1990 Honda Prelude
Deck - Kenwood Excelon KDCX811
Subs - 2 Polk 10" db series in 2 sealed Q Logic enclosures
Sub Amp - Alpine v12 1002
Rear speakers - Polk EX 6.5" Full range

Which should I go with for my front speakers:
Polk EX 5.25" components
or
MB Quart DSD213 components (5.25")

Also, what amp should I power my front and rears with? I'm looking to spend less than $350.

I used to love the Polk components, however, since they've gone mass market, they've gone down hill a bit. I think, given the 2 choices, I'd have to go Mb's in the case. I would seriously try to find the Canton's or maybe the 3 series from a/d/s/, they'd be more moolah, but well worth the price of admission.

If your speakers all have an RMS of around 50 to 70 watts I would recommend the Rockford Fasgate 400a4. I have one in my car, and it is very nice! I got it for $299.

Since you've already got the polks in the rear, I would go with polks for the front as well. (not my pref in speakers, but hey, that's why there are so many to choose from).

Amps, MTX and Fosgate are both great choices, neither will let you down. Alpine will be nice and smooth, not quite as much power, same with Clarion, for the buck, but a great amp none-the-less. PG and PPI of course, but more cash. If you can find a deal, look for Old One Eye, on a nice 40x2 McIntosh amp, that would do you nicely!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, back to work or pretending to work
