[QUOTE="1aespinoza, post: 8852275, member: 654802"] The plan looks good. 3 changes I suggest- 1. Change from the coaxials to component speakers. That way you can set the tweeter higher for a wider stage. These JBLs are pricier but worth the coin [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_20230810-201708.png"]51236[/ATTACH] 2. I would do away with the underseat sub. IMO those fall short of their intended purpose. Instead I would opt for a rear seat sub enclosure powered by the rear channels of the 4 channel amp. The front channels can power the JBLs. The signal will come from the RCAs of the radio. You will not need the radio's high output. 3. As for the amp, I tend to trust one with a bigger footprint for actual output and heat dissipation. This Kenwood has more power and better wiring terminals for the speakers.
