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'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.
