how does this sound??

Hey i have already have a tsunami db4400 and will soon have a audiobahn a2200hct amp. the tsunami is 75x4 at 4 ohms 220x2 4 ohm bridged and the abahn does 1600 rms at 1 ohm. i also have 2 15" comp vr's in a 6 cube sealed box. a sony cdx m610 cd player. now what i am thinking is added two sets of kicker k65.2 component speakers one front, one rear, and kicker rmb8 midbasses in the rear doors powered by an additional db4400 bridged. here comes my questions and or ideas. first off i though about the fronts in kickpanels and rmb8s in front doors, but i don't like the idea off kicks, i could even fiberglass them myself, but i think they would get in the way, so kicks are out. my first concern is the front speakers, is there a way i could seal them for better response?, i thought about maybe fiberglass or fatmat the door, any ideas? then the rear speakers, i want them sealed to provide better response and to keep the subs from messing them up, my ideas on this is taking out the rear deck and just put carpet down allowing me to mount speakers a little different so they don't hit trunk bars and allow room for a box for them also eliminate the annoying rear deck rattle, has anyone done anything like this b4? i would probably have to get a led spoiler to be legal though.i really like the idea of a carpet rear deck if i can get it to look right (stock). then the rmb8's in the rear door is just a idea but i think it would be cool if possible, probably won't happen, maybe i can mount the rear speakers in the rear doors? if you all could offer any help on any of this stuff or opinions it would be greatly appreciated. also would this set-up be loud (not subs, the speakers.) ? a problem i am having now is that all sources are way different sound levels, radio is louder than cd and the sirius on a fm modulator is real low but the modulator is turned all the way up, this really pisses me off, b/c i like the sattelite but the sq and volume lacks. is there something to balance all sources or maybe a cd player that matches all the sources? i also looked at the alpine eq/sub x-over/line driver, that accepts one rca set and splits it into front,rear, and sub, so a new cd player with only one preamp would be fine with this.

Thanks,
Chris

It might be easier if you separated your questions into paragraphs to make it easier to read/answer, but, anyhow

The only one I can help with is the front doors, I can say for sure that putting a couple layers of your choice of deadener will definitely help the sound form the doors. When laying it down, try to cover all those little holes with deadener as well.

When I was in the rear doors, I can't remember how much space was free there, but I think it'd be possible. Go take off your door panel and take a look at how much space is in there, door panels are really easy to take off and put back.

Sorry about not spacing, etc.

The main thing i am conserned about is the rear deck, i just don't like it, it rattles and jumps up and down all the time. i currently have no speaker in the rear deck and the holes left let the bass come into the car, kinda like when you have the back seats folded down.

WHat i want to do is add a set of kicker k65.2 components in the rear but still keep a hole in the rear deck. so i want to make a rear deck out of carpet or vinyled covered wood,mdf,etc. if i do this i can put the speakers anywhere on the rear deck allowing me to move them a little foward and to the center to avoid the trunk bars. this way i can build a enclosure for them so they sound better and don't get messed up by the subs. has anyone done anything close to this?
