Well guys, after SOOO much contemplating I think I've finally settled down and made a decison on whats going in my car. I've had everything from people swear by Elemental Designs, to JL, to MB Quart. I was going to do the DLS UP6 series in the front and the DLS B6 in the rear, coupled with one of their 10s. But, price is always an option, and I think I've made up my mind. The car is a 2002 Audi A4 with the Stock Symphony Radio.

Processor: Alpine IVA-D310

Components: Front: Arc Audio ACS-265 Rear: Are these necessary? Should I just keep my factory rears, or should I upgrade these as well. If I did the rears, I wouldn't put the high end ACS-265's in there. I would go with the KAR-265s. What do you guys think? I've heard mixed opinions.

Subwoofer: Coming from 3 10 inch JL W3s, I'm tired of Boominess. I wanted Sound Quality > Loudness but not to alleviate it, as I do listen to rap and some heavy bass music. So...going with the Arc Audio Xtreme or their Arc Sub..however, I want to do 1, 10. Is this going to be enough? It will be fiberglassed into a side compartment. I really want to try a 12, but I think its going to be atight fit. I'm not sure....

Amplifier: Precision Power DCX 800.5. I think this should do the trick, heard good stuff about PPI.

I wanted to move away from the main stream of things, JL, kicker, etc. I want to do it once, and I want to do it right. I'm tired of trying to go too cheap and then end up ripping the stuff out and selling it. So...what do you guys think???

Do yourself a favor and get the Dls UP6's as they sound freeking badass, and an Iridium 10 is the sweetest sq sub I have ever heard, and will handle 1000w rms if you want. That's waht I have and it sounds badass on the 300w my xtant has to offer (3-channel) The UP6's are sweet, haven't heard the arc so I can't comment intelligently about them.

Edit- the Dls Iridium 12 is sweetness as well- the UR subs are also very nice, and even the low buck MW110/mw112's are extremely nice sounding.
