4 ways in the dash
what kind of speaker is that?I'm guessing that you're using the larger (670 watt) amp for your subs and the smaller for the main speakers. What does your main amp put out in terms of per channel? An example is a NINe.2, which puts out 100x2 @ 4 ohms or 400x1 @ 4 ohms. Model #’s are always appreciated on amps.
As for actual equipment, I have no comment on the boss amps because I've never experienced them. Judging by the head's rated power output, I'm going to guess that it's pre-explode so it's probably a decent deck.
Nice system. It’s always good to see that we’re not alone in our obsessions
Also, pictures are always fun to stare at

The Pioneer subs, while nothing special, are decent for the money. Better stuff can be had for less money, but you're at least getting your money's worth.
I've never been a fan of Kenwood or Pioneer coax and multi-way speakers. Most were lifeless and harsh. It's been a while since I've heard either, so perhaps they've improved. But... any time you're dealing with anything more than a 2-way coax, you're dealing with marketing crap. Most of the 3 and 4 way coax speakers out there use either a "passive" tweeter, or a highly attenuated piezo. Stick with what you think sounds best, and chances are you'll wind up with a more traditional 2-way coax.
Boss amps are garbage.
Sony head units typically aren't regarded as very good, but if you got one of this year's models, it'll probably be pretty good. They've made great strides in quality since last year's models.

I picked this stuff up years ago, and it is still holding up, I have no complaints about the quality of any of it, the dash spaekers may not be 4 ways but I thought they where. I am unsur eon the specs but when I get a second I will get teh model number off of the amps. thanks
