Seriously though, I would advise you to factor in wiring too. Maybe cut out the crossover and use that for wiring for your big 3 and power to the amps. Someone mentioned an H.O. alt. I would do that as well.
Lay the proper groundwork first and rework your budget.

The 2500 is ONLY for EQUIPMENT i know i still have more to spend on wiring /alt. etc.

Are you dead set on the Kenwood headunit?

Eclipse AVN20D's are going CHEAP on eBay. $350 can get you a DD with DVD/CD/Nav/20gigHD.

Wont work for me i want bluetooth also thanks though

Alright so im trying to stay under 2600.00 for all the equipment for a system for my truck please let me know if iam setting myself up for failure
Vehicle 2006 GMC 2500 Crewcab

3 maybe 4 10" re se subs $ 80 a piece $320.00

Sub amp Hifonics 2608D $400.00

JL zr 800 8" in front doors $125 a piece $250.00

PG RSD 65 one set in front doors with the JLs $90.00

PG RSD 65 other set in rear doors maybe no rear fill?? $90.00

Mid/highs amp hifonics 8408 or arc audio 300.4 $200.00 0r 400.00

MA audio 3 way crossover $70.00

Kenwood DNX 8120 $1200.00

Total $2620.00 or $2820.00

Guys please chime and let me know what you would change or if you think the setup would sound good. I really want a good sounding setup that is loud and good spl while still having some SQ

Having done the 4 re 10 in the same vehicle i can tell you it wasnt impressive, the re8 that were in before sounded better and performed better as well. However the three might work???

Go with the DNX, the F series are perhaps the worst thing ever made by pioneer.

So you are telling me that a re 8" will sound better than a re se 10" thats hae dto believe but okay and 3 would be better than 4 ? because of air space acoustics im confused what do you have now if you didnt like the re se

How bout a Stetsom 2kd(400)

And a stetsom TH2120(115)

A pair of PG RSD comps(70)

Deka 9A31 (200)

And 4 RE SE 10's(320)

That comes out to $1105.

Plus your $1200 HU and your under 2500.

Woofers etc. They are 60+$10 shipping

IMO, ditch the rear speakers and the x-over and spend that money on better component speakers up front. The amps and H/U will have all the x-over you need built in.
