Not to thread jack but I got my Pioneer AVH 8400 headunit put in a couple weeks ago, Im loving it but now Im ready to upgrade my speakers (and add a subwoofer)

is there good value to be found in this package:
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...Dampening.html

Comes with JBL speakers for front and back
800 watt 4 channel NVX amp
NVX Sound Deadening

I like it because its an all it one solution to my speaker problems and I can quickly move to figuring out what I want to do with my sub stage. But is this package deal a good value at $590?

Too many speakers

Would be a good deal if it were one pair and cheaper

Piece it together

^ on the CTX6.5 this is the depth and they fit in the front with no problem; however, I'm not sure about the depth of the space in the rear, but one would assume that it must be about the same since the 6.5 is the same as the front. The front and rear speaker is a 6.5 inch mid speaker.

Top-Mount Depth 2-3/4" ≈ 2.75
Bottom-Mount Depth 2-7/8" ≈ 2.88
Cutout Dimensions 5-5/8" x 5-5/8"

So lets say if the speaker is 3 inches deep You might be running into trouble. I think you will need some spacers if they are more then 3 inches in depth.
I'm not 100% sure.
