I am getting my sound system together finally and have chosen the following items

Pioneer fh-p8000bt (ordered and received)

specs:http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...ures_and_specs

Infinity KAPPA60.9CS (will order tomorrow) *will go in door panels and stock tweeter location*

Infinity KAPPA63.9I (will order tomorrow) *will go in behind head rests*

Metra dash kit (ordered and received)

PAC ROEM-NIS2 (ordered and received) *because i have bose system*

I will eventually buy a 4 channel amp to power all of this and am considering the
Infinity REF475A

Should i wait to install the speakers until i get the amp? Will there be alot of rewiring necessary once i need to install the amp?

I wish I could afford the project x door pods aswell but they are quite out of my reach so I'm opting for the simple solution, using the stock speaker spacers that come with the bose or make my own little 1" thick spacers using mdf. Also I'll be cutting out the plastic from the stock speaker grill that blocks half the speaker.


Does all this equipment look pretty good? Will it be a drastic increase in sound performance over the blose?

Thanks,
Pete

 

it will sound better than oem but without pods, not sure if it will be a night and day difference yet. I would wait until you get the amp to get the speakers installed. The headunit will not push those speakers..well not the component anyways.

 

One thing to consider, the new Kappa tweeters are huge, and there is no way they will fit in the stock location. They are the biggest tweeters that I have seen come on the market in a long time. In fact, I think they may be one of the biggest tweeters that have ever been on the market.

 

dont put the speakers in until u got the amp, like he said the deck will not push those, it will sound bad and u will have rca's run from the deck to the amp and then speaker wire from the amp to the speakers so if u put them in before u get the amp u will be doin double the work plus the crossovers for the tweeters needs to be powered by the amp

 

And......perhaps.........think about ditching the rears. That will free up some cash to buy the amp quicker.....in which case you will only need a 2-channel amp, thereby saving you even more money! You won't miss the rears if you tune everything well.......and if you do miss them, get a cheap set of coaxials and run them off the headunit's internal amp later.
