Need Help/Opinions

Over the next few months I am going to be saving up for a new stereo system. Iv got most of the stuff picked out but need opinions on wich subs/amp to get and also need to know if this setup would sound good.
Here's what im thinking so far....

- Pioneer DEH-P8600MP deck
- Rockford Fosgate 6x9 3ways (sale panel) # FRC4369
- Rockford Fosgate 6.5" w/ tweeter (kick panels) # P162S
- Subs (thinking rockford fosgate but not sure wich model. need some good base) - Rear well
- Amp (also thinking rockford fosgate but not sure wich)

Also, where can i get carpeted kick panels? Any tips and opinions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Don't limit yourself by sticking to one brand like RF. There is better stuff out there for the same price, esp speaker wise.

Also, I'd recommend the Pioneer Premier DEH-P860MP. It has more features and is about the same price.

The DEH-P860/8600 is a great HU. But for speakers I would look some place other then RF. If money's the thing don't bother with the rear speakers and just up grade to Better 6.5s in the kicks. Now RF isn't to bad for the buck with there amps, but forget there 6.5s and 6X9s.

I was in that place with the big box on it this weekend and it looks like you got your shopping list there? If so, give it time. They should be carrying alpine soon.
