Haha, ok, you did indeed have the right idea there, i guess i just didn't understand what you meant in your firs post. Yeah, those are the right kickpanels you will need for excellent sound, and good imaging in the front. Its up to you really if you want to totally leave out the door speakers, and the rear speakers. But if you decide to use your door speakers, use only a midbass speaker, and nothing with a tweeter in it, as that would mess with your imaging some. Also, if you go the kickpanel route, i wouldn't use the tweeters in the top of the dash either, as this will mess with the imaging too. But like i said, its really up to you. Most car audio competitors WIN competitions by having only front kickpanel speakers and a sub in the back. This set up just meters better for them, and it also keeps all of the music up front where it should be, since we like to think of music in the car as if you were at home listening to your stero, or at a concert in front of the band. I personally like to have a little bit of rear "fill" of music, it to me just gives more fullness to the music. I have mine set so i can't really distinguish the rear sound any, but the music sounds like its all around you, not just in the front. This is what i plan to do with my car, as i'm not going to compete anymore in car audio, and not worried about winning events. I will have the same kickpanls you are looking at, a 6 1/2" midbass woofer in the doors, and a nice set of the same componets as in the front kickpanels, in the rear locations. Maybe some tweeters in the dash locations, but not sure yet. I just want my car to sound loud and clean, and i'm not too worried about the perfect soundstage and imaging so to speak. So for you as a good basic set up, get the kickpanel pod with the componet speakers, leave your door and dash speakers disconnected, and replace the rear speakers with either a coaxial speaker, or another componet set. Also, use an amp to power all of your speakers. This should sound really good, and leaves room for upgrading later if you feel you want more. NOw if you plan on entering competitions with your car, thats a whole different story

). what do you guys think of this setup. after this i'm thinking of getting some kick panels with premier components. i'm new to car audio and open-minded, so hit me up with some advice/suggestions/compliments, whatever.
That amp should do just fine with the sub. After you get it goin, i guarrentee you will never want to own a different brand of sub ever
