I like the Infinity speakers... I went with the Kappa series. Was looking at that same 7541 Infinity amp as well but I was able to get a great deal on a Rockford Fosgate amp instead. Still waitng on my new HU.
Where are you planning to locate the amps? Did you purchase a sub box with amp rack??
Good luck with the install!!

of course that is just laid in with towels... so it'll have some shape around it... Haven't decided if the 10"s will go under the strut bar to keep some trunk or on each side behind the wheel wells....
I got the JVC KD-AVX2 and love it... I'm glassing in a 7" above it also but that little 3.5" is really nice

Make sure to post pics after the install. Did you go with a door pod or kick panel? If not you lose alot of sound from those horrible factory grills. Here's a few pics of mine, I went with NAZAR's fiberglass pods and wrapped them in vinyl to match the vinyl on the armrests. I went with the FOCALS rather than Infiniti's, but you should still get a nice sound, especially with all the power your gonna be running.

Very nice, I'm very happy with my Kappa sub and Kappa kicks. I also chose JVC as my HU mainly because of the orange illumination. It matches the interior lights perfectly with a little tweaking.
3 amps might be too much, but you might be able to fit them in the stock bose location. Maybe add some fans.

Here are a few pics of the amp rack in progress...
Built a contoured shape to mount the amps pn for maximum stability and smallest footprint
The measured them out and made my base structure.
with amps...
a view from the back...
I went with Infiniti because Harman had sponsored a past vehicle I built and I was really happy with quality of speakers, so I called them again and tada!
The headunit was my choice after buying 2-3 that didn't measure up to what I was doing. I love that thing... and as long a Fedex doesn't loose it I order a 7" to go in the Navi cubby above it also...

Some of the carnage...
After install.
Ran the hard wire for the 8500 down beside the shifter... so nice to not have to reach up all the time to silence the detector...
