[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1172096, member: 555320"] 5-ways are a waste of money and nothing but marketing. Plus, why are you going to put 6x9's in the front? Meh, Pioneer wouldn't be my first amplifier choice. Life would be much easier if you just got a single amp to power both subs. Less wire to run, less room taken up my the amps, easier installetion, etc etc. Pretty good headunit. That couldn't be further from the truth, frankly. No company is going to be the "best" at everything, or have the best value in each product category. By going with different brands, you can not only maximize your performance, but maximize your performance while possibly saving money. Pioneer speakers might be good....but for the same price, you might find something that sounds better. Pioneer amps may be good, but for the same price you might find something with more power, better features, etc etc. Limiting yourself to a single brand is one of the worst things you can do, IMHO. Decent overall. But I bet if you gave us a budget and your goals, we could help you put together a better performing system for the same cost or less. [/QUOTE]
