Default C6 Coupe Basic Swap Out

I'm thinking of replacing the Bose system with a bare bones decent system for the following reasons.

1. I get by with out Nav and I think I can set up my PDA with Nav
2. I don't need a DVD player
3. I listen to my Corsa sport most of the time
4. Between exhaust, tire, and wind noise I wonder if I would truly appreciate a high end system
5. And last, but not least, I am cheap

So here's the system I thinking of
1. Polk MMC 6500 6.5 components
2. Polk MM2104 10in sub
3. Custom sub enclosure
4. Pioneer FH-P800BT reciever
3. Infinity 475a amp

I'm going to have a respected installer put the components in and he recommended a Image Dynamics sub which has received good reviews on the forum, but I can't remember the exact model. He also likes the Eclipse SC8365 components but I haven't been able to find any info about them.

So gurus of sound, please take pity on a soul with a lesser ear and knowledge who suffers from a anally tight wallet and please
offer your opinions.

Sounds liek u got a decent setup lined up. Id recommend the polk components over the eclipse no questions asked.

Image dynamics does make some nice subs

Amp should be adequate

For a budget oriented setup sounds solid to me
