Audio help for a beginner?

Tadpole

Well I finally ended with this setup..
H/U (New)
Kenwood Excelon DDX491HD DVD receiver at Crutchfield.com

Components (Already installed)....will be upgrading next.
Custom Sounds Car Stereo Store - Custom Sounds

3-1/2's (New)
TR350-CXi - Car Audio - Evolution® - TR - Coaxial Systems - JL Audio

Amplifier (Already installed)
Alpine MRV-F300 - Custom Sounds

Subwoofer (New)
CP108LG-W3v3 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Systems - MicroSub

The 3-1/2's needed some fab work to get them to fit. They are a little deep. My H/U is currently pushing these.

The front channels from my amp are pushing my front 6-1/2 components and the rear channels are bridged pushing my microsub.

My thoughts and views on this?

Excellent surround sound quality with highs, mids are still a little muddy, and the lows sound very good too. I have now realized that my components are the weakest link and upgrading these will probably make it right for me. The micro sub box is low profile and fits between the rear wheel bays and under the strut tower. It hits pretty clean and hard but remember if you go this route it's an 8" and not two 10's and will not rattle your windows out. Good,deep clean bass for the size though. Its also Velcro'd in too.

Honestly I think my first step should have been sound proofing first then audio shopping next and will be doing this in the spring and I suggest to all members to go this route.
