What do you think about this possible setup? eD + Infinity

[seRspecV204]

Let me preface this by saying this will be my second system. I've made some mistakes in the past with the system I owned, and have learned a good deal from it.

Here is what i plan for my next system, tell me if you have any suggestions. I'm really planning to go all out, and i want a slightly less-than-comp level stereo.

Head Unit --> Sony CDX-F7715X (head unit really doesn't matter alot to me. i want something that will play music and have enough pre-outs, i really don't care about colors or pictures or any of that, just audio)

Front Speakers --> Infinity Perfect 6.5" Components (i'm really open for suggestions here, I don't know a whole lot about component vs OEM + tweeter. i want sound clarity and a whole lot of loud)

Rear Speakers --> Infinity Perfect 5 1/4" Woofer-only

Subwoofers --> Two 13" eD Ov.2's (maybe RE? i don't want alpine or JL or anything massively corporate in my trunk. i want to rep the smaller companies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif )

Amps --> No idea. My last car had a Kenwood 60x4 and an Audiobahn 2000x1 in it. (Those aren't model names, those are RMS outputs) And i really want to move to the smaller internet-based companies. I think there are alot of higher-quality more affordable options available in the eD/RE etc. area.

Please Tell me what you think of any of that and i really want some feedback and other ideas.

By the way this is my first post so go easy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif

I like it, I would replace the head unit with something else, believe it or not it does make a difference //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

*edit - although, for an Xplod that deck looks pretty clean.

Thanks for the response!

Yeah, in general i've felt Sony's to be pretty reliable, and i've played with that deck and it is very clean. I really like the DSO options on Sony.

What sort of a deck would you suggest?

Also as far as power (amps, etc.) to that set up, what would you suggest?

How do the Ov.2s stack up against RE SX or 12" Brahmas?

Well, I'm partial to Alpines because I've had a lot of experience with them...but Eclipse, Pioneer, and others make quality decks as well.

I'll check out Eclipse, i was under the general impression with Eclipse that they were over priced. Same for Alpine. If i'm wrong then tell me =)

I wasn't aware Pioneer was quality. I'll look into that as well.

Any answers to the other questions?

alpine, eclipse, and pioneer are all quality products when it comes to head units. the speakers u mentioned should suffice, and as for amps i'd say get eD amps.

Phoenix Gold, Alpine, JL, eD, all make quality amps.

The Ov.2's would have a little less output (*generally, box dependent*) than the SX's.
