05 Mustang System Build

[tnedet]

Alright, I have been planning to do a system in my mustang for awhile now and i've just now gotten everything done to the car I wanted to do before starting this. I know a few things about car audio but I definitely am going to need lots of help. Right now I just want to make sure everything I have on my list will work together and perform good. I listen to rap/hip hop mostly but i'm looking for something that has more than just bass. I already have a Kenwood DDX419 head unit, the car has rear deck 6x8 speakers and front door 6x8's also, 8" subs in the doors that i'm going to take out completely or somehow fit more mid speakers in their place. Anyways, here is the list: For all the 6x8's (4) I want Kenwood KFC-C6894PS 3- way mid speakers powered by the head unit if it will work, in the trunk i want 1 12" sundown SA12 in a custom ported box powered by the sundown saz 1200D wired to 700w @ 2 ohms. Thats all i have in mind right now but i do have a few questions. Can I put mid speakers in the 8" sub mounts if i made a bracket for them? Do my mid speakers have to have a dedicated amp or can i power them through my head unit? I know this is a long, messy post but i really want to get started and i figured i would get the most help through this website. I want this system to be reliable, sound great/well-rounded, and CLEAN, no stray wires all over the place.

Why not wire it down to 1 ohm? Do you have big 3 done?

mids would work in the parcel shelf, but they sound better up closer to the tweeters.... and the mids would sound nice off an amp

i dont think so, i don't want to send all the amps power (1200 RMS) to the sub. ive heard of them taking 1000 watts easily on the daily but i don't even want to push it that much. @Side Show thanks for the info. i'm really new to this stuff and i don't know anything really.

also, i like to keep my car pretty clean and neat, like "show car" clean and neat. I cant have everything jerry rigged and laying around. I'm trying to modify the car least as possible for this.
