Default Opinion on these components please...

Keeping in mind that I have a limited budget, I really, REALLY want to put a system in my car. After doing some shopping around and checking stuff out, here are the pieces I'm considering. Also, keep in mind that I'm not a real audio system fanatic. I just want something that sounds better than the stock system... What do you guys think?

H/U : Kenwood KDC X959
Speakers: JL Audio XR650-CSI 6.5"
Amp: Alpine MPPM200
Sub: Kicker COMP VR 10

Good components, but I think the CDT HD (can be had for the same price) will hand the JLXR series its butt on a platter. :yesnod:

I have the following:

- 5 1/4" Boston Pros
- 12" Kicker Solobaric (the older round one)
- Lanzar Optidrive 2200 competition amp rated at 100X2 or 400X1
- Lanzar Optidrive 4150 competition amp rated at 37.5X4

The Lanzars are very good amps and not the crap that Lanzar makes now.
