Audio install question/opinions
I just picked up a CB 350Z Roadster and wanted to put in some audio equipment and I can not seem to make a decision so I come to here for help. I am thinking of QSD216 (most expensive - least likely) or PCE216 or JL Audio XR650CSI (about the same in cost). I have owned the MBQuarts and really like them, but have not owned the JL's. What do people think of them?
And then, what to power them with. But wait, it gets tougher as I want to put an 8" in the stock 10" sub location. I was thinking the 8w7, but not sure it will fit, depthwise, so moved to the 8w3v2. The problem is then what to power it all with? I was thinking the 450/4 and having 150 go to the 8w3 or the 500/5 and bi-amping (what do people think of bi-amping?) the components with the other 250 going to an 8w7 or a 450/4 bi-amped to the components and a 250/1 to an 8w7 (although I am leaning towards the 8w3 and the 8w7 seems overkill for some mid bass - oh so many options). Lastly, I am putting a 12w7 or 13w7 in the trunk witha 1000/1 (so the 8 is strictly for midbass, not any real low end).
I am set on the low end knowing for sure I want the 13w7 and 1000/1 (have heard them and they are the best I have ever heard - not that I have heard many ) and I am really undecided about the mids and highs situtation.
I post this here as I got so much good feedback and input when I built up my G35C. Thanks for your input/opinions and ideas.

Re: Audio install question/opinions
I'd go with JL Audio for speakers and Amps. I'd keep the system as simple as possible. Less of a chance of something going wrong, easier to diagnose problems, fix, easier to tune, and most importantly, cheaper! JL also makes a Stealth box that's supposed to sound excellent. Let us know what you decide, with pics if possible...
