[QUOTE="fly_marlin, post: 8397502, member: 660781"] 1. No. Getting a Kenwood deck is probably as far as you should go with Kenwood. There are no benefits keeping same brand anything. It can be a drawback as different manufacturers may excel at different things. 2. Only thing is that it's hard to gauge how an enclosure like that will perform since its primary function is to fit - maybe you know what its internal volume is? Sealed, right? 3. With DVC, you get more wiring options, though you probably won't be wiring it to 8 ohms - so in this case, it's pretty much the same. I'm guessing your sub amp is 2 ohm stable? Are you sticking with it? If not, you may want to get something more powerful that's 1 ohm stable as that's generally cheaper. 4. Prices have dropped because technology has advanced, though, beware of things that seem to good to be true. Also, that PPI amp should be pretty nice and I think you should keep it. I'd ditch the rear speakers and invest in a really nice set of components for the front. What else are you trying to update? I would get a larger amp and a BEEFY 10" sub. Do you have a budget for all this? [/QUOTE]
