This is my first system, might attempt DIY if I can find someone local to walk me through, or there is a small local shop I trust.

Going in 07 Yaris Hatch.

i was thinking subless, but now I might want to throw a 10" sub in the back for some more SPL and bass.

I want an even mix of SQ and SPL, (50:50) but if I tilt to more SPL (40:60 respectively), I won't mind. This will not be a competition car.

Going to run active.

Current parts (in hand)

HU: Alpine CDA-9887

Kick-Panel: Hybrid Audio (HAT) Legatia-4 (L4)

Rear: RE Audio XXX 6.5 Components w/ tweeters (tweets in the A-pillar or by the L4's, not decided yet)

I'll be using Second Skin's Damplifier for the dampening.

So...

Will I get enough midbass out of the RE XXX's, or should I really throw a single 10" in the back? I've heard awesome things about the RE XXX 6.5s, but again, I want this to be able to sound good, but also get loud too. Not so much to shake the car next to me, but I want to be able to let them to know what I am listening to, if you catch my drift. Also, if I get an amp, should I ditch the L4s or the XXX's and regain some of my $$$, or just keep and use them?

Also, I need amp suggestions so I can get this party started.

Thanks in advance.

/edit

I've used the search function, that is why I only have two posts. I've lurked for about a month and I'ev gotten help on DIYMA, now I am asking for second opinions. I'm a bit anal like that.

 
Yea, I'm not looking to drop a grand on an amp though. That would cost more than the rest of the system all together :p

Anyway. my system has changed. I'm now going to run the HAT L61-2 set with some sub (leaning toward JL 10w6, possible a Fi Q10).

I have sold the L4s, and I am now selling the RE XXX 6.5c here >> http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=361119
