I am getting my first car in about a month and want to add a sound system to it. I have a budget of 1k, but went over that a little bit with what I have picked out. I have an 01 Nissan Xterra.

For front speakers I want the Infinity 609CS.

For rear speakers I want the Boston Acoustics SC65.

I want to power those off a 4-channel amp. I want the Eclipse EA4200.

For a sub I want to go self powered with the Infinity Basslink.

By going through amazon for a few of the items I was able to get down to aobut 1.3k. How does the set up look? Am I missing anything in terms of wiring? If I give all this stuff to an installer will it be everything he needs to install? Is there any weakness in my set-up that should be fixed? Is there anyway I could save a little bit of money without sacrificing any of the quality? If its relevant, I listen to reggae/light rock, and I am not looking to blast the speakers or bass really high... more of just high quality sound. However I would like it to be loud enough so I can have them playing with the windows down on the highway. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

 
I was able to save 140$ on the bass, and about 60-70$ overall on the sets of speakers through amazon. Some of the wiring is also cheaper on amazon. Saving about 30$ with the amp kits through amazon. The HU is a refurb in good condition. Other then that everything is from crutchfield =D
