Sounds like it'll be good to me. (Hah. Punny. Get it?) anyway, I think it should be a solid system. Are you doing the install yourself? If so, take your time, and lots of pics!

Yes I will be installing it myself with my two buddies who one is lead tech at the best buy install bay, and the other is the lead tech at a custom audio shop.

Between the 3 of us should be pretty simple!!

And I'll try my best to get as many pix as I can.

Try and keep y'all up to date. Got mist of the stuff in now. Just waiting on the head unit and sub box. Hopefully have it all before the weekend. Probably gonna do a lil test fitting with the amp before, to find out where I'm gonna put it.

Im assuming you used some pretty thick cabling for your amp and some good component cables too, yes? I would imagine so since you have some well educated friends helping you out! system looks pretty legit my friend. i went with alpine in all of my doors as well, used a 5channel amp to bump those, along with a single shallow mount kicker speaker all under the back seat. def has some nice sound to it! nice choices in items too. i was never a fan of systems that vibrated too much bass that drowned out all the mids and highs, but also made the license plate rattle. that never made any sense to me.
