Default Please review the following TTQR Audio setup and advise

Hi everyone,

I am looking to spend around a grand on the hardware for a good Roadster setup. What do you think of the below regarding compatibility, quality, ease of installation, cost and future upgradeability (GPS, Sat, another sub, etc)?

Thank you.

Eclipse headunit - CD84xx
Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 6-1/2" Component System
Infinity Kappa 42.7i 4" 2-way Speakers
JL Audio 8W0 8" 150 Watts Subwoofer Single 4 ohm
Infinity Reference 5761a 6-Channel Amplifier (or 5760)

Default I wouldn't put anything less then a 10" in the car, especially if you are going with a single sub.

A good 10" is perfect for the car this size. I absolutely love the way mine sounds and my amp is not that great. Every single person that has ever been in my car commented on how nice the bass is and could not believe that a little 10" was behind it.

Default I would like to keep the stock location for the sub - will a 10" fit?

I like the mods to be really stealth, as much as possible.
Considering that I have a 6" BOSE there, and after a few searches, I thought that an 8" is the most I can fit.

Maybe one day I will eliminate the upper box for the second sub but want to keep it clean for now.
What do you think?

Thanks.

Default look into other companies....>

Focal makes great component speakers, they will sound great. I wouldnt take an amp by infinity either, make it a JL 4 ch. deal and power the fronts, and use the other two ch. for the sub. you can have the best speakers ever, if you still have midrange amps you still have so so quality sound.

Default I remember someone doing a very nice setup on a roadster with 2 subs in the location of the single

stocker. Do a search, I think it was posted this year. I believe he managed to fit 2 8" subs.

Default I think one went in the stock location and one in...

... a custom enclsure where the CD changers normally resides. I would be interested in this setup if you find any more details.

Default Not the one I was thinking off, but WOW!

I recall someone doing dual 8" with a fiberglass enclosure.

Axercat did a slim 12" sub in place of the stock 8". Also a custom enclosure and some cutting.

Default In this case I would add both suggestions and come up with this...

What do you think?

CD84xx CD/MP3/WMA Receiver
Infinity Reference 5761a 6-Channel Amplifier (decent price)
MBQ PCE216 6-1/2" 2-Way Component Speaker System
MBQ DKD110 4" 2-Way Speakers
2xJLAudio 6W0 6.5" 150 Watts Subwoofer Single 4 ohm
Is it better to squeeze in one 10" or two 6.5" subs? I don't want a booming bass, just solid and tight.
