Question New Speakers, What else?

I just bought 2 sets of JL Audio XR650CXi....what else will i need?
What kind of amp will i need? I am receiving mixed recommendations. One is telling me i need 150 watts x 4 channel @ 4 ohms and the other is telling me i dont need all that power and to get 75 watts x 4 channel @ 4 ohms. So which will i need? Another thing, how should install run with parts(wires)? Also, will i need to dynamat my doors? Is it that necessary? Thanks!

With the speakers you have, 100 watts will give you plenty of power for midbass. They don't demand alot of power as opposed to Dynaudio and others. If price was a consideration, going with a 75 watt amp wouldn't be a bad choice either. An amp that puts out 150 watts for the JL's is overkill IMO.

Sound dampening will cut out some of the noise, but what you will really notice is that it enhances midbass levels and overall clarity of the sound (since your stereo doesn't have to compete with other noises in the car). Since the TL is a relatively quite car anyways, you can get by without having to Dynamat. I preferably would do it due to the increase in sound quality.

A JL 300/4, Fosgate power551X, Alpine 340, or Kicker 600.4, all are good choices.
