Sound System setup

Alright folks, im ready for a sound system and i was wondering if this setup would be a good sounding one...


Avic N-2
Alpine CDA 9851
Alpine 12'in Type R subs (2)
Alpine Type R front comp 2 way speakers w/ tweeters
Apline Type R rear comp 2 way speakers
Rockford Fosgate Punch 1200W Bridgeable 4-Channel MOSFET Amplifier with Selectable Bass Boost
Kenwood 1000W Class D Bridgeable Mono Amplifier with Low-Pass Crossover
(2)


so far i have the cda 9851 and the front 2 comp speakers. getting the rockford amp and rear speakers this friday. so what you guys think of this system? will it be worth it and am i missing anything? im planning for it all to get professionally installed but is there anything else that i am suppose to bring to the installer?

Well you did forget one thing.
How will you be able to power all that?

darklegacy540 is on a distinguished road
I'm sure it'll do everything you want it to.. not really the products I would pick (especially the kenwood and RF) but it's your stuff, not mine. I'm a big fan of the AVIC N-2 though.. you do a lot of road trips or something?

i would get different amps, but i have all alpine 2005 type r stuff in my car and love it. Look at orion for amps, get a orion 8004 for the speakers and orion 1200d for the subs

Well i'm not sure our stock electrical system can handle that. There's a good chance you might get some light dimming. A 1 farad cap would help a lot.

I would stick with the same model amps and not mix and match IMO. I hate when people mix everything together. Looks just thrown together.
