I think I'm sold on this but I wanna get some insight as I'm having trouble finding any real official info on either company and products. I've heard they are good by word of mouth, but I need some confirmation on this setup.

(2x)12" L5 Kicker Subs (600wRMS, DVC, 4-ohms)
(1x)1100 Watt 5-channel Memphis Belle Amp
(2x)5.25" Rockford Power Speakers 2-way (60wRMS)
(2x)6"x9" Rockford Punch Speakers 3-way (75wRMS)
(1x)Pioneer 4 volt pre-amp out puts(Front/Back/Sub) 50wx4 16bit Equal(Or something like that) Plays like everything, you know, the $500 thingy. A good head unit basically.

Any opinions, good and bad?

Sounds good to me...I sell crap loads of memphis product....You can wire the Belle down to 1 ohm on the sub channel and it will run happily.....You may want to find a way to set a fan up to blow across it for cooling or something....But to me that setup sounds good....

Oh and I would run 1/0 AWG wire for the Belle...Its a little power hungry when you take it to one ohm....But other than that...good luck

Oh you may want to look into a good Deep cell Battery to add to the existing one in your car and/or a cap...at least 2.5 farad....

I'm a big fan of Memphis Audio. If I could get a Memphis Belle at cost or a bit above cost I would sure get on.

You only need .5 farad for each 500wRMS... I'd say 1.5 or maybe 2 at most should be fine. But there is some little battery like cell I am getting(Can't remember what it was exactly but I'm gonna find out today.)
