Looks good. Not much you can say bad about that setup. I might do different components, but I have heard some good things about the Polks.

 

I would also look/listen to some other components: Diamond, Rainbow, Focal, etc. Components can really make or break a car's audio system. Polks aren't bad, but compare first, if you still like the Polks then no harm done at least you gave it a comparison.

 

what about the Polk SR's have you guys heard anything about those (the speakers)

 

Man all sounds good. I would worry about the components unless you go with really cheap ones. I put fosgates in the front, pioneer two ways in where the middle speakers are & pioneer 4 ways in the rear. I am running them off the fosgate 450.4 and sound very clean. I have 1 10inch JL 10w3 for the sub running off a mono amp I had for a long time now. Head unit is pioneer z1.

I don't think you can go wrong with the set up you have now. Deff. will kick.

 

What kind of box are they going to put in your car? I did my cuz coupe with 2 12"s with a custom box, and at the end I think it would have been bette with two 10"s. But over all the stuff you have listed above isn't bad and I am sure it will give you some nice sounds.

But personally, I would look into some different speakers. Something like Focal or Diamond Audio. IMO they are a lot better then Polk.

 

1.) Do you really care what kind of amp kit you use? If not, get a no name one that will do the exact same thing for $40-50 less
2.) For components I would try something other than Polk, for that price look into some CDT's

 

Check into the Boston Pro Series- great sound and will fit good. And make sure you do use a good amp for your components, no reason to spend the money on a good set of components and then ruin them with a "bad" sounding amp.

 

What's a "bad" sounding amp?

 

something with a high distortion rate would cause a not so good sound.

 

get the alpine PDX-4.150 for the speaker amp. if you use the 2 channel amp for 4 speakers, you will loose either balance or fader and you are putting stress on the amp., plus you loose sound quality. Oh, another very important thing, use RCA cables that cost about $40 to $50 per every 2 channel, so approx 120 to 150 depending where you but them from. same thing with speaker wires. but, cheap power cable is ok, just make sure its 2 gauge from battery to trunk.

 

lol

 

Wow. Just remember, not all advice is good advice.

 

I had Polk component speakers in my old car and loved them.
