Potential system in 350z - Thoughts?

[Baller23217 10+ year member]

HU: Eclipse AVN6620

Components: Rainbow SLC265 or SLC265kick

Amp: Rainbow iPaul 4.300 (90w x 2 for comps + 270w x 1 for sub)

Sub: Image Dynamics IDQ10v3

Sub Enclosure: Zenclosures.com sealed understrut box with amp rack (what is optimal volume for the IDQ?)

Thoughts? Suggestions?

EDIT:

REVISED PLAN PER A MORE EXPERIENCED LISTENER'S RECOMMEDATIONS:

HU: Eclipse AVN6620

Components: DLS MS6a 6.5" two way component set in kicks

Amp: DLS CA51 - 55 x 4 + 250 x 1 -- I was told that sending 55 watts to each midbass driver and each tweeter would actually get louder and sound better as it would be actively crossed over...

Sub: Image Dynamics ID10 - the entry level ID sub as I only have 250 watts to play with if I go with that amp.

Opinions?

why spend so much money??

cause he wants it to look and sound nice?

Everything looks good bro... Look in the FS section for the IDQ. Buddy of mine is selling them for a good price //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Because I want this to be the last setup I put in my car and I plan on having it for a long time. Plus I want high quality equipment because I want a system with very good SQ.

Also, I think the only thing I'll actually be paying full price for is the box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I really liked the Eclipse avn but the nav was just not at all what I liked

Its kinda boing,it works and what not but its not near what I was used to

I've never had a Nav unit in my car so the Eclipse's navigation will be better than anything I've had.

Just from reading I feel the Kenwood DNX8120's Garmin nav setup is optimum, but I can get the Eclipse for hundreds less.

The Rainbows aren't harsh at loud volumes, right?

I am leaning in that direction because of a friend's recommendation (he had the same model) and I remember his car always sounding good.

I don't like harsh tweeters at all.
