I wanted to know what people thought of the system I am going to put in my car. I am replacing my existing stock headunit with a Kenwood KRC-535 cassette player (CD changer controls, 22Wx4 RMS, 2 volt RCA outputs). A Kenwood KDC-C669 multi-disc changer (6 disc) will be connected to it. The stock 3 1/2" in dash speakers will be replaced with Infinity Kappa 3.27cf 2-way speakers (3 1/2"). The front door speakers will be replaced by Infinity Kappa 652.7i 2-way speakers (7"). Infinity Kappa 692.7i 2-way speakers (6"x9") will replace the stock rear deck speakers. The new rear deck speakers will be powered by a Power Acoustik Gothic OV2-520 2-channel amp (125Wx2 at 4 ohms). To add some more bass I will add 2 Infinity Perfect 12.1 subwoofers (12" 4 ohm) and 2 Infinity Perfect 10.1 subwoofers (10" 4 ohm). The 2 12.1s will be powered by a Profile AP1000M amplifier (500Wx1 at 2 ohm) and a Lighting Audio Strike LS10-03 Stiffening Capacitor (1.0 Farad). The 10.1s will be powered the same way. That's all I am putting in for now. I'll upgrade in the future. I just wanted to know if i was getting a good start. Feel free to make suggestions and comments.

You did pretty well until you got to the amps. Both amps are off brands that really don't have good reputations. I'm not a big fan of caps, bigger alternators are a better choice. Finally I can't understand the multiple differant sized subs. The 2 12's would do fine by themselves.
There is no such thing as free installation!

The setup is good for starters, but as far as the subs go, you might want to reconsider. First off you need to decide whether you want to go SQ or SPL. Second, its never good for 2 sizes of subs battling air space, it can eventually lead to a siezed spkr. Third, kind of a rule of thumb, always skip a size when doubling subs. Fourth and foremost, the rear fill is not necessary when creating a soundstage environment. the 7's will give enough mid-bass, you wont even recognize a difference once the system is tuned right

Change your sign-in name if you're going to stick around and learn some things from this forum.  You may want to chime in from time to time and nobody can take you serious with the name "pleasehelp"!

I agree with tcss that the 12's should be the only choice for subwoofers here.  There's no place in the audio frequency spectrum to add the 10's.  Concentrate your efforts in the front door speakers as your main soundstage.  The dash speakers will be a hinderance, not a blessing.  Just because the factory did it that way doesn't mean you need to follow their lead.  Rear fill is fine but don't emphasise it...the fronts should be powered more and be the best speakers you can afford.

So trim down your intended system...put more money into the individual pieces of the puzzle and not into trying to fit the whole store in your car.  Don't put something into your system because you happened to have already bought it on ebay or it's in your cousin't garage.  Use planning and preparation with getting the car ready to accept a system...and use the same sense of planning when you put your system together.  Remember K.I.S.S.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
