Default Possible new setup! Input appreciated!

Can anyone check over what im thinking about getting and letting me know any faults you might see in the setup or have any suggestion? Thanks!

My current head unit:

http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-AVH-P3...6530939&sr=8-1

(possible) Front door speakers:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A12KEZCG9I0IOM

(possible) sub:

http://www.jlaudio.com/10w3v3-2-car-...-drivers-92150

the 2 and or 4 ohm option of this speaker would be based on whether I decide to go with the monoblock below or the 5 channel.

(possible) amps:

This would be if im satisfied with how my head unit will push my door speakers.

http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/pdx-5/

This option is if im not satisfied with head unit power to speakers and decide to go with a 5 channel to power my sub and door speakers.

(possible) sub box:

Any input would be great! I am looking solely for a good sounding system nothing to compete or be outrageous just something simple that sounds good and very clean across all ranges.

Thanks!

Were you dead set on getting a JL sub? I mean.. don't get me wrong, they're good subs but for the money you can get something that sounds just as good (if not better) that's not a mainstream brand.

Some examples: Image Dynamics, Sundown Audio, Diamond Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Etc.

Not necessarily deadset on the JL was also looking at the Alpine SWR 1043D and 1023D those are the 2ohm and 4 ohm versions and was also thiking about looking into Polk audio. The setup as I have it there though I can land it at just about $1100 for everything which seemed pretty reasonable to me.

Why the 5 channel amp? You are only going to be running 3 channels (two fronts + one sub) unless you plan on running the fronts active, or using the other channel for the rears. Personally I wouldn't bother powering the rears off an amp, deck power would be plenty for them.

The matching 12" Polk MM sub is what I plan on running in my Z. I used it in my previous install (VW Passat) and it sounded great, even underpowered. I actually bought the sub first and was so impressed with it I grabbed the 6.5" MM separates later. I did an install for a friend (Dodge Ram) with Image Dynamics sub and its a great small sealed box woofer too. The JLs are awesome subs, just a touch pricey.

I run Kicker amps these days but the Alpines PDX's are excellent, highly rated class D amps, good choice. No problem with radio either, I ran Pioneer decks in my last two vehicles but switching over to Alpine for the Z install.

My budget and plan looks very similar to yours: nothing crazy, just smooth and clean with some thump.

I actually did cOnsider that one but I wanted integrated Bluetooth along with a non-motorized face. Still a great option though!
