Infinity Kappas? I have a pair. They're pretty amazing. Looks like a pretty good setup, but you might want to consider a separate amp for the subs.

yeah that sounds right...yeah I heard my whole set up in the sound shop I went to... well the screen is amped so I was thinkin it would power the door speakers and the 4 6 1/2" and subs would run off of the amp no?

If you're not opposed to running two amps, pick up a mono amp for the subs. Run the doors off of the 4 channel and you're good to go.

I have something similar.. Deleted the monsoon amp and run 4 62.9i kappa's in the rear are 2 4" 42.9i kappas where the stock 4's went all fed by a 6 channel 100w rms per ch JL amp, and then a fosgate t1 1-" sub powered by a kenwood 2ohm 600w rms amp... it kicks to say the least lol i always get compliments on it

Man you can get much better subs and much better amps than this for a much much lower price than what you have here. For subs I love the Pierce Audio (google them) 10's. I just got my 2 10" 4 Ohm DVC subs from them and they blow any of this mass produced junk away all for about $250 per sub shipped. Also the Infinity's are nice upgrade from the factory speakers but for under $100 set you can get the Precision Power PPI A2.65C which handle a lot more power and sound much cleaner than the Infinity Kappa's I just replaced with the PPI's. Also the Kenwood amps are overpriced/underperforming to be honest. A relatively cheap yet still performs as rated set of amps are made by MB Quart. The setup above would out perform what you have listed for a MUCH MUCH lower price. If you're spending in that money range for that equiptment then that shop is taking you hardcore (file charges)...

I've redone mine so many times.. Currently with infinity speakers and alpine amps. With a crappy Pioneer HU. Wanting an Alpine HU with Imprint.

I'm a huge fan of the Alpine head units I still have an Alpine 9815 I bought forever ago and what an amazing head unit that thing was/is.
