Default Beginning Stages New Sound in my '01 Z...Help Appreciated

I am thinking about going with a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 double din, Focal speakers, 12'' JL sub with a custom box (through nvthis). The custom bezel will come from c5 kidd. I would like to stick with JL through the amps, what size amps would I need, I know I need 2 of them. Will they fit behind the seats? Havent decided if I will be doing the installation or not. Thanks for any help or recommendations.

what do you mean by 'behind the seats' do you mean on the vertical wall behind the seats or the horizontal area behind the seats?

Hey Brandon, Since you are thinking of the single 12W3V3, the JL 500/1 should accompany that particular sub pretty well. As for a 4 channel, depending on what exactly you go with maybe the JL 450/4. I'm not too familiar with JL's 4 channel amps, but this particular one came to mind. Take a look at the links that Scott & Pentavolvo put up as they have some very good information that can help you with what to choose and what's involved in the installation process.

which JL subwoofer will you be going with and will you run front and rear speakers or just fronts?
