Default Putting in new audio system

Working on putting a system together. Here is the plan:

Alpine IVA-203 Head Unit
Kenwood 6x8 in doors
JL stealthbox (10) W3sub
JL XD600/1
JL XD400/4

Does this sound like it will fill the truck with good clean sound? Any recommendations?

Put components in the front doors, you'll get significantly better sound.

The JL stuff is good, but pricey.

you can buy the kenwood 6 1/2'' component and they come with 5x7 to 6 1/2 adapters... its what i got in my truck and they sound alot better. you just have to drill a hole to mount the tweeters higher in the door more at ear level

Ford was even nice enough to put holes there for us on the 04-08s.

Sweet didn't know that, might have to go with component speakers up front. I put everything else on order today (Crutchfield). I already have the Kenwood 6x8 in the doors Kenwood KFC-C6893PS if anyone wants a set let me know. They are a couple weeks old and I paided $59 new make offer.
