I plan on building my complete system very soon and would very much appreciate any comments/suggestions towards my setup plan: Car: 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Replacement HU: Clarion DXZ665MP Replacement Door Speakers: Polk Audio db6500 6-1/2 comp Powered by: Profile AP600 100w x 2 Subs: 2 Audiobahn AW1200V 12" DVC 700w RMS Now for the questions....first off, which amp would be a good match for the subs? I've only browsed Crutchfield so far and nothing stood out. Also, I want my car to sound like I'm at a live concert (metal to be more specific, bands such as Chimaira, Dope, and Bleed the Sky as examples if anyone has seen them) so basically I want to feel the kick of the bass drum but still have definition in the bass. I would think an enclosed box is right since bass cabs are sealed. For now I am leaving the stock rear speakers, but should I bother upgrading them? Subs will cover the bass which makes them almost useless unless the subs are off? With box placement...would aiming front with the back seat down improve quality or SPL?
