Alright so heres the deal, i have a pretty good Alpine deck which i plan on keeping. The place i work at allows me to get great deals on Kicker polk, and Eclipse equipment. I know i want component speakers up front 6x9" 3 ways in rear all being amped, and then preferably a single 10" in the trunk.
Heres what im thinking of doing. Please critique this keeping in mind that i listen to metal/rock/punk and i like it loud but with SQ in mind.
Kicker KS or RS (having trouble deciding which) components up front
kicker KS 6x9" speakers in back
For a amp i dont know if i should go with a zx350.4 (90x4ch)
or get a zx5503 ( 85x4 and then 420x1) and use the extra channel to power my sub
Kicker 10" L5 in a truck box possibly or the regular style.

Is that a good combo or does the sub need more power, and i should go with a seperate amp such as a 600 watt kicker?

Or am i going to have too much bass and be disatisified with the system?

 

I would go with Eclipse speakers SC8365 for the front, and nothing for the rears, or the SP6900 and remove the tweeters, highs behind you will only mess up the staging imaging use a 2x100W RMS amp into 4 ohms to run the fronts, like the ZX200.2 use The Alpine HU to run the 6x9s, you need very little power in the rear] and get the L5 10 dual 2 ohm, wire the VCs in series, [4 ohms] use a ZX1000.1 to run it, [should be 500W rms into a 4 ohm load] .

That should get you good clear sound that should get pretty loud, and still stay clean and clear. 94

 

why should he get a zx1000.1 thats a little overkill...

 

you think the HU will power the rears? also isnt that amp a little bit to much?

 

The ZX1000.1 is 1000W rms into 2 ohms, but only 500W rms into 4 ohms, [thats why I suggested a 4 ohm load], the sub is 450W continues, it is the perfect amp for the job.

Yes the HU will drive the rear speakers, you need very little power in the rear, [if you even run rear speakers] all you need is enough for some rear fill. 94
