Default Front components only or Kicker upgrade?

I went ahead and ordered the Kicker upgrade after I bought my new C6. After I got them in I found a set of Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5 components that I had in my garage still new in the box that I never installed in my old GTO.

http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...n_US&p_status=

I have JL slash series amps to run everything that have gone from car to car for almost the last 10 years. A 300/4 and a 500/1.

I have the Double D two 10" speaker box with ARC KS10 subs.

What I'm having trouble deciding is if I just want to run the Rockford components in the doors powered by the 300/4 and the two subs in the rear powered by the 500/1

OR

Kicker upgrade with factory subs in doors plus the two 10" ARC subs powered by the 500/1.

I will be using the factory non-Bose deck with the PAC AOEM-GM24 adapter.

Since you already have everything, do the components

I did the components. It sounds awesome! It sounds like you are standing in the front row of a rock concert now. It will go so loud my ears hurt. I'll never listen to it that loud though.

You'll be surprised how loud it needs to be if you go out on an interstate with the top down
