'65 Nova audio design

Hey all, I am trying to layout a stereo for my 65 Chevy ii and I could use some feed back. My system will be simple but I'm struggling with what to go with. I will be doing 6.5" in custom kickpanels and glassed enclosures partially into the fenders...either coax or single source mounted comps along with a pair of 10's. I want to run a single amp and the subs in a small sealed enclosure. I was leaning toward the following but nothing is set yet..plan on doing more looking at sema this year.
Fronts: Pioneer TS-D1602R
Subs: Dayton Audio RSS265HO-4 10" Reference HO Subwoofer 4 Ohm or JL 10W3's
Amp: Sundown Audio SAX-125.4

I'm not sure the Sundown bridged channel is enough for the HO's and my heart isn't set on anything other than the sizing and layout. Thanks!

lets get some pics of said nova

Sorry...I dont have a great far away pics as most are up close of the mods/updates I have been doing:

Bucket seats and a customer center console are waiting until the audio layout is complete so I only have to take her apart once.

Beautiful.

No audio... Isn't the engine enough?

Thanks. I love the engine note..350, long tubes, duals through an X-pipe:cool:... but I commute with her a couple times a week and Im an audio freak so I need tunes!

While I would have likely gone a bit different direction with the wheels, still def made my sticker peck up !
Nice ride!!

Thanks again for the compliments.
Now what do you guys think on my amp/sub selections? I have been using ARC's on my last 3 installs and I love em but I have been using multi-amp setups. I have been having a hard time findings a good multi-channel that can drive my system no matter how simple I want it to be. I could go to a dual-amp setup but they would have to be tiny...the goal is "Retro-Mod" so I want it to have the old-school feel to it.

What is your budget? Beautiful car by the way, coming from a ford guy:cool:

Im gonna have 350-400 (i think in the head unit)...still waiting for it to be released...but I would like to stay under 1500 in components if I can. Basically 1100 for speakers and an amp. I already have the wiring, sound deadening, and am doing all the work myself (except for the vinyl work) so that is covered. My budget is flexible as I want the right stuff. I was originally thinking of trying to go all american made but I have been out of the audio circle for awhile. Finished my Mazdaspeed about 5 years ago so a lot of things changed.

Anyone wih inputs on this? Also looking at:

I have heard great things about these coaxial/convertible components.
I don't think the SAX will be the amp for those subs as you will have only 400rms total to split between the 2 subs. You may want to re-think and use a mini amp for the front along with a D class sub amp since the class D are more efficient or maybe a 6 channel.

U can always go with the HD 600/4 and 1200/1 I'm selling ;) lol car looks nice, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

i'mm local to you in aromas.i also sell mmats and dls ,as well as american bass and the nor cal dc rep. i would go with dls components and mmats amp personally .mmats has a new 6 channel that fits you needs perfectly
Ultimate SQ 150 rms x4 and 900 rms on channels 5 and 6 bridged
Ultimate UP6i - 2-way component 6,5 inches

Here is your 6 channel, 600rms bridged @4ohm for each sub and 150rms for the front channels:yumyum:
