Default My RT4wd wagon critique...

Im debating on going all out or just keeping it simple and low budget. I would like a stealthy setup - amps under the seats or any suggestions. Ill be listening to mainly classical and instrumentals - I got kids - but Ill bump at car shows. I just want a system to sound good Im not trying to win SQ or SPL contests. I have several questions so bear with me.

1) Can anyone compare the ssa dcon and the boston g3 and/or g5? Im leaning toward the dcon because most people have not heard of them and I read a review that said that the dcons were the bridge between the DIYMA and the Stereo Integrity Mag - two subs I highly considered buying. Any experiences, comments or suggestions are welcome.

2) Components - OZ audio Vectors II 50w RMS or the Hybrid Audio Imagines 100w RMS both in 6.5. The vectors I have wanted for some time now and I found them for cheap - $95 and from what Ive heard cant be beat in that price catergory and much higher. The Hybrid Audio components have gotten high reviews and can be mounted coaxial -stealthy. Any experiences, comments or suggestions are welcome.

3) Amps - Looked into Arc and Elf audio because they have similar internal builds and are very small. I am considering mounting them under the seats. Im leaning towards Elf Audio because of price but still considering Arc. Other options are Powerbass XAX or Stetsom. Any experiences,comments or suggestions are welcome.

4) Head unit - Thinking Kenwood Excelon 494 or 794. Picked these because of price and decent Sound quality. I have also found a Pioneer DEH-800PRS for cheap and Im considering buying it. I would rather not have a head unit if that has a motorized flip screen but will take suggestions. Sound quality is important but the main feature I need is USB/Ipod capabilities. After researching I have discovered that some head units have difficulties connecting to Ipod/any external storage units over 32g or 64g etc. I mention this because I may hook up my computer on occasion - 350g. Any experiences, comments or suggestions are welcome.

Budget for the "all out" SYSTEM is about $1500 for equipment - excluding sound deadening Wires etc

6)My simple, budget setup is as follows -
Kenwood x494 - $144
Oz Audio V2 6.5 - $95
Oz Audio V2 10 - $70
Planet Audio 4 Ch ZR - $75
Any experiences, comments or suggestions are welcome. Budget is as cheap as possible with decent quality parts hence the above example.

Even suggesting "non mainstream" brands like avalon soundworks OR RD AUDIO is ENCOURAGED.

I have researched for months and owned a car audio business 13 years ago so I know a little bit but this is the first time Ive posted anything about may set up list. Last thing, I would rather not do a big three upgrade but definitely doing a battery - XS power or Kinetik - have not decided. I still have a bunch more questions Ill post later. Feel free to answer (or not) the questions just try to number your answer with the corresponding question number so there is some order. Thanks for taking the time to read this looking forward to everyones comments ( OR FLAMES).
