    7x10

    Yea. You can always buy (or prolly make) a bracket for some 6.5's then u have the best of both worlds (selection AND sq) But i guess it depends on your application. I heard the kenwoods, sound DECENT (to me.) But, always buy what YOU like.

    components or stock speakers

    have you considered the 4x6 component plate from infinity? it has a 4inch midbass driver and a tweeter, and they sound quite nice too!

    dual subs for sq..

    how much of advantage in SQ do you have with dual subs in stereo? Because i'm not sure there are TOO many sound engineers who get specific with the lower frequencies on recordings. But, having said that, I finally hooked up both of my w3s and it sounds alot better than just one. not just in...
