Default $1500 audio upgrade

I have a 2010 GS with bose. Bose is been gutted. Here is what I have picked and it come out right a $1500 on crutchfield.
Kenwood DDX470
Kenwood Excelon X700.5
Focal PS 165 component for doors
2 Focal 10" Performance P 25 DB Subs

Amp will be bridged 100 rms to components and 500 rms to subs at 2 ohms. 3 1/2 center speaker and back 5 1/4 speakers removed. Amp rms is matched perfect to all rms rating to all speakers.

Before I buy is there a better set up I could buy for $1500?

Equipment list looks good, but IMO one well and properly powered 10" sub is PLENTY in a vette.

And yeah, call Dennis

I was wondering if two 10's would over power the components
