components to match subs

Ok...I'm going with the L7 12s run by a kicker zx1500.1. This will be in a chevy xtreme pickup...what component speakers and amps would you reccommend to use since i have chosen the L7's for my subs... Also wondering if i would need any type of crossover or equalizer.

If you want to stay with kickers, zx850.4 amp with ss65.2 or rs65.2 components. The ss are better but if you are budget conscience the rs do not differ that much.

It doesnt matter if i stay with kicker for the components. I was just wondering what you all would personally suggest. Still open for more suggestions...but wondering if i need an external crossover and equalizer. I'm also up for suggestions on a head unit.....Pretty much just tell me what you all would do for the rest of the system aside from the subs.

Kickers still sound good. I'm a big Pioneer guy; I have an N3 and love it. However, if you're not looking for a navi and want great sound you have to go with something with 4 ot 5 volt preouts. I would recommend the DEH-P6900UB, plus it has a usb input if you have a thumb drive or mp3 player. You also have full control over an equalizer as well as high pass and low pass crossovers.

I was just thinking about what you meant by crossover. If is not what I mentioned in the previous post, crossovers come with the speakers.
