Default Stero Newbie ?'s

Ok, I think I have decided on going with this system. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED FROM YOU STERO GODS!!!!

I bought a 10 inch JL Audio Stealth box about two years ago and it has been sitting in my garage new in the box. I was going to go with the JL Audio XR650-CXi & XR650CSi's for doors and rears. I was going to also go with the 300/4 and 500/1 amps. For a head unit either the Alpine 9835 or KenwoodKDC-X979.

What do you think????

Hi John,
I'm still waiting for that invite from you and Gary
I have had been in car stereo for awhile and this is my latest creation
I'm not that fimilair with the Alpine HUs but I do know the others you talk about. The 250.1 or 500.1 will be great with you sub, I would go with the 250.1 since the JL sub is rated for 300 watts though the 500.1 will not be too much for it and would sound a tad better. (I run 900 watts into my JL 18W6 which is rated at 500 watts) Do not use rears but instead buy even better front speakers. I highly recommend the 3-way Focal speakers and the JL 300.2 to run them with. Feel free to ask any and all questions.
Jay
