New system recommendations - Components and extras

[CyberKP4 10+ year member]

I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest with component systems and I'd like to get some recommendations.

2009 GMC Sierra

Fronts - 6.5-6.75" door, tweeter in a-pillar

Rears - 6.5-6.75"

1. I'm wanting to use factory locations and keep the modifications to a minimum.

2. I'll power them with the recommended RMS.

3. I have Focal K2 165KRs in my car. They sound great, but I'd like something a little warmer to a little more midbass.

4. Going with simple sub install and getting the JL Stealth Box. Stealthbox with two 12inch 12TW3-D4

5. Should I go with a mid-bass in the rear doors or a decent door speaker. I know it's recommended to have all front fill, but I like a little fill from rear speakers. With that being said, they don't have to be crazy high end, but able to deal with the power from the amp.

6. Budget - I'd like to keep the components around $800 max, but it's flexible if it's worth it.

Thanks for the help!

There are many options for you but you'll need to deaden the doors to get the most out of them With that said hertz is a great option along with Cdt or even morel

For sure on the deadening.

If you were going to buy a component set in that price range today, which one would you choose and why?

I personally like the Cdt. Reasons are. Great product. Great warranty even if you mess them up. They have a replacement warranty that gets you new product at half price. Also everything the make I'd hand built in Usa Mine sound great

I blew one of my es6s accidentally the told me they would fix it free once and then they would recone them at cost..

They sent me a brand new driver no questions asked..

The focals are no slouch.. I think you should seal and deaden the doors better first..

The Focals are in another vehicle and staying there.

I'm looking for recommendations for a different vehicle that will be sound deadened.

Modern consumer electronics are throw away. Cheaper to just replace than to fix.
