Default Thoughts/Recommendations on this setup?

Hey all,

Just about done dynamatting the truck, just need to finish front right door and floor. About to order my setup, here is what i am thinking about. Any thoughts or recommendations on something else would be appreciated.

Alpine X008U (already have)
Alpine PDX-V9 5 channel amp
Fox Box single 10"
JL Audio 10TW3-D4 or 10W3v3-4 or other (still deciding)
JL Audio C5-570 up front
JL Audio C5-570x or C5-525 in rear
KnuConceptz 1/0 wiring, 12 gauge speaker bi-wire, 10 gauge sub wiring, RCAs, 250A fuse

Also have my wiring ready for Big 4 upgrade but have not gotten time to install yet.

Thanks!

Good stuff - consider the Sundown Audio SD-3 10"...I think it would be better than the JL (and I love JL's stuff, I've had many of their subs). I'm running the SD-3 10" and I love it.

any thoughts of going with a 5.25 speaker and tweeter in the rear? or stay with the 5x7 JL 570? I always hear round speakers are better but are they in this case?

bump on my last question. now im thinking of doing the C5-525 in the rear with a speaker bracket so the tweeter is right next to it. also thinking about doing the same thing in the front and moving the tweeter from the stock location. whadda think?

like this:

I would keep the tweeter in the stock location for the better sound stage.

I would do the JL 10W3v3-4 over the other JL. Just a better sub.

Why not do a 6.5" component system in the front?
