Looking for help on a setup that fits ME! Help is appreciated!

ok lets start off with a nice deck now it is going to end up being kinda expensive in such a new vehicle as harnesses for them are not so cheap around 100 for just a harness for the deck then around another 50 for the steering wheel control integration module.is there any specific features you need from the deck (ipod controls, usb,memory) or what ever?Then lets move to door speakers your buddy could probably beat my prices for you on a set of cl-61i comps for the front doors and a set of cl-6ex coaxils for the rear. now for the front i would definitely get a nice 150x2@4 ohm amp for the comps but just run the coaxils in the rear off the deck for the passengers..Then a nice 12" idq or fi q in the rear and a decent class monoblock sundown or aq for the sub and for your listening preference i highly recommend a sealed box for the sub to get a quick and punchy response to those kick drums..

Really good feedback, but like I said... I **** with acronyms.... what are idq and fi q??

And how do I connect TWO amps together? Or do they both go into my head unit? And what amp do you recommend for that wattage and ohms?

EDIT: And whats the difference between sealed and ported sub enclosures and why is sealed the way I want to go for my preference?

acronyms:

idq = Image Dynamics IDQ sub: http://www.woofersetc.com/p2034/IDQ12V2D2--Image-Dynamics-12"-IDQ-Dual-2-Ohm-Subwoofer.htm

fi q = just what it says, Fi Q: https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154acab27a97ca8/shopdata/0050_Speakers/0030_Q/product_overview.shopscript

dc = DC Audio aka DC Sound Lab: http://www.dcsoundlab.com/

"connect TWO amps together": I'll assume that you want to know how to run 2 or more amplifiers in a vehicle. It's called a distribution block. Do a google search for more information.

Sealed vs ported subwoofer enclosures: Both methods have their pros and cons. You honestly need to do some research before you buy anything, man. At least visit a shop or two and do some comparative listening...

a sealed box will have a tighter and quicker response especially on rock or metal music a ported box will be a little slower and not quite as tight sounding..and as far as hooking up multiple amps you are just going to need to get someone local with good knowledge to help you out that would be a ton of typing to help you fully understand..of course sundown audio has a new sa-12 woofer out that sounds real good on music also..
