New Build for Dodge Ram Mega Cab Ideas?

First post here although I have been reading alot. I am building a new system for my 08 Dodge Mega Cab 6.7 Cummins and originally was gearing towards pure sq, but now I've found that most of the products peaking my interest are more SQL. I'm not trying to go SPL, I like quality but rarely will want to bump. I am looking for advice on where to go with this as I have outlined what I have below:

Chassis and misc:

1/0 gauge knuconcepts

50 sq ft 80 mil sound dampening (for doors)

100 sq ft 50 mil sound dampening (for under carpet)

old 30 Farad stinger cap (had sitting around might as well use it)

300 amp Circuit breaker

AudioQuest wire for all mids and highs

Subs:

1 pair 12" Fi Q subs cooling added, internal lead, spider upgrade with high qts

1 sealed box with approx 1 cu ft per sub, separated spaces.

1 Sundown SAZ 3500

Rear:

1 pair RE audio XXX 6.5" Components

MB Quart ON4.125 (also powering 2 fronts)

Fronts:

PPI 356CS Components (probably going in q-logic kick panels I just ordered)

Infinity Kappa 32.9cf (dash speakers)

Old Sony 60x4@4 (for the two pair above)

What Im thinking of adding:

JBL MS-8 MS Series Digital Processor

Cadence Ceq-773 7 Band Paragraphic Equalizer

Cadence Acoustics ZRS710KIT 7-Inch x 10-Inch (I'm not sure about this one... would fiberglass to go on front doors with a whole through the door panel to recess it more)

Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH (When it comes out. Im set on this)

What I'm asking:

1. Should I do any polyfill in the subs for a bit deeper bass or am I good @ 1 cu ft?

2. Is the JBL MS-8 a good Idea with this many speakers?

3. The ZRS710KIT, i found no reviews anywhere. And I have never done fiberglass, I know its a bit of work but I am really handy. I know I could get a 6.5 in there without fiber. I think I'm attracted to it because of the lack of knowledge online about Cadence

4. Any thoughts/comments/ideas? (Except for the cap. I know they don't do what they are marketed to do. It will be a nice distribution block)

Much thanks and appreciation in advance.

Failure, do some research. Caps dont hold energy at a high enough voltage to serve there purpose, making them pointless

 
Yeah Yeah Yeah... caps **** I know. Hence that its several years old, I have it, and its not used. If anything its serving a purpose as a distribution block, Can we move on from the cap. Its not the point of this thread.

 
^^^ I'm not mad bro.

And as for burning man - Ha, I can't even go. They had over 120,000 requests for tickets and only had 40,000 available for the "lottery". the BLM has ruined this event with a population cap. That was my home for one week a year and now I have to try to find second hand tickets.
