[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 587844, member: 52"] Gear looks solid Jason, pretty much when it comes to audio gear you get what you pay for. Those components look solid, rear speakers don't matter all that much, so what you got there is good enough, no need to spend big money there so oval coaxials are fine. That amp puts out quite a bit of power, 150wX4, the components look to be rated at 75w RMS, but then they recommend RMS of 25-150w which is a pretty large range. I would think 100w per side would be solid, just need to keep the gain a little conservative on the amplifier and pay attention to it when tuning. Basically think of a hot/overfueled truck and how you watch EGT's, in this case you listen for over stressing the speakers, audible breakup, machanical limits (speaker cone bottoming out) or smelling glue from the speakers. Personally I think the amp is a little expensive, but part of that price premium is for the super small footprint, and for the variable resistance, the amp puts out its 150wX4 at a range of resistances 1.5ohm to 4ohm. You could get the 5-channel, but that will lock you in on your sub choice, or will affect the sub selection, nothing bad, but just when you are selecting the 5-channel amp, do your sub selection at the same time to keep everything in order. Everything should mount in pretty straight forward, really only questionable piece will be where to put the tweeters. From what I understand, you want to keep them within 6" of the mids to avoid any audible seperation issues, this leaves you with either mounted coaxially on the mid, or on the door car somewhere, both in my opinion are less than desirable. Next 2 options are in the sail panels, or on the a-pillar. From what I have seen with competition setups the a-pillars wins, sail panels are generally for when the tweeter needs aiming at the driving (on axis response vs off axis response) However with putting the tweeter in the a-pillar or in the sail panel you will get audible signal separation, where the mid frequencies will arrive to your ear sooner than the high frequencies.
