Review: Building a Decent Audio System in my 350Z

[VoodooBoot]

Hello, guys.

I am new to car audio and to the forum. I hope I am not breaking the forum rules by posting this thread.

I'd like to replace the stock Bose system in my 2008 Nissan 350Z. My goal is to have a decent sounding system, as the Bose hurts my ears. I don't want a loud system, or something high-end. Just a decent sounding setup.

In terms of budget, the setup below is about 600 EUR (excl. cabling and box), which is what I would like to spend.

I have limited space for the amplifier and the subwoofer.

Here's a list of the components that I am considering:

• Amplifier: Kenwood X801-5.
  
• Subwoofer: JL Audio 10W0v3-4 in a custom-built box of approx. 26 liters/0.9 cub. ft. (max. that can fit behind the driver's seat).
  
• Front speakers (6.5"): Hertz Dieci DSK 165.3. The speakers and the tweeters are going inside the door, replacing the stock speakers and tweeters.
  
• Rear speakers (6.5"): Hertz DCX 165.3 Two way coaxial. Stock location is behind each seat at shoulder level.
  

Does that setup make sense, or am I making a huge mistake there? Any suggestions for optimizing?

Thanks, guys!
