I went with the top-of-the-line Kappa components in the doors which were $210. Once I had listen to and picked those I just bought the rest to match. The 10 dVQ woofers are great matches with the larger of the two plugs for the Zenclosure understrut box.

I did my own installations crafting custom front spacer rings to allow the 6.5" component mid-woofers to fit. I found that a 1" ring wasn't big enough and that the stock hole fires into plastic rather than the hole. I used a bit of wood and moved the mid-woofer out another quarter inch and forward and down by about 2".

I went with a Pioneer AVIC N-2 with the DVD navigation. See my signature for the details.
