Newbie Who Needs Input !!!

Ok how does this sound.

In DJSEXAYS kick panels a set of Rockford FNQ2614 Componets.

In the backseat a set of Rockford HPC1206

Both of these powered by a Rockford Punch 600.4 Amp

And now in the trunk 3 Kicker S10D 10 in
Powered by a Rockford Punch 800.4

With a Rockford Punch X Crossover and a Kenwood KGC 6042a Equlizar

To be toped off with a Sony CDX CA850X Head unit

Let me know what you guys think of this setup?

I am new to Car Audio So all input is welcomed. Thanks Alot. Bobby

ok dude, first off, i dont know where ur planning on putting that 6" speaker, the back takes 6x9's, then are your not using the 4x6's, also you should use a 2 channel amp for the subs, not a 4, finally dont get a sony head, there crap and they look ugly. but then again i know nothing about systems

For the kicks and the seperates, good choice on the kicks (I myself have a set) and for the speakers, if you like 'em then go for them. Same with the rear speakers, I am assuming the the HPC1206 is a RF 6x9, right? The other guy is right about the 4 channel for the subs, get a 2 channel.
Three 10s will fit, but they will be a tight fit. The other problem with running 3 10s is you start to run into problems with running that amp too hard at too low of ohms. With the 3 you don't have a heck of a lot of options, you might look into just two subs instead of the three.

You really don't need the crossover, all those amps should have crossovers already.

As for the head unit, somewhere someone said some pretty bad stuff about the new Sony head units... I can't verify any of it because I am not a Sony person. But he basically said stay away from Sony head units. Use your judgement, if you like the way it sounds, has the right features, and the price is right then go for what you want.

Stereos are a very personal modification, at least to me. Buy what you want, but be smart about it while you are doing it.

BTW, what type of music do you listen to? That also has some effect on what type of system you should get.
