Ideas welcomed on this set up

[builditboy]

Got a 99 Yukon 4 dr that is begging for some sound. I listen to rock/rap and I'm looking for balance of spl and sq.. cause I like it loud but clean. I got the JL stuff at a price that I couldn't pass up and I don't mind the tweets being a little bright. The big 3 are done as well. Besides what I have currently, I have 2k to complete this build.

This is what I got so far:

Kenwood X995

2 pr of ZR650csi

JL HD600.4

I had considered getting JL HD1200.1 with 2 12w6v2..but after checking out the arc ks1000.1 and RE SXX 12 at a shop I am leaning more toward 2 ks1000.1 w/2 12 Re SXX's.

So my questions are: are there any other subs that I should check out in this price range?

I seem to find good reviews about arc but is there a better option that I'm missing?

Should I install both pr of the 650's? Cause I seen a couple posts that said to run comp's in the front and not the back, and run the fronts off an amp and the back off the hu. Any thoughts?

And what about Audiocontrol's The Epicenter Plus and the 6XS...I got a friend saying that I should get them .....are they worth the money or is there something better for the same or slightly more?

So any thoughts??

There are much better subs out there then the RE. RE has fallen off since 2005. Check out DC, DD, SSA, Incriminator, RD, Atomic, Sundown.

as far as running front and rear speakers its personal preference. Some people swear by only running on front speakers you keep a good front stage and thats the only thing that matters. Personally, I like rear fill (setup correctly) as it adds a nice ambient sound to the car. But its really up to you on that. As far as subs, for your goals, there are 2 13w6s in the classifieds on this site right now for a great price! that your might wanna look at. Then you can get that JL amp or any other good one or four ohm stable amp that'll do 1200-1500 at one or four ohm.

I recommend the Kicker Kq-9 PREAMP eq to clean up the sound a bit, and for x-over freq. adjustments at your finger-tips????//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
