I just want to know if I got some ok stuff. I mean ya know i want to be good lol.

Kenwood head unit (new), 2 Memphis Audio Studio 4/6's, 2 Memphis Audio Studio 6/9's, Two Alpine Type R 12's in a ported box from Q logic, and soon to come a Kicker KX600.1 Amplifier for the subs.

I just want to know if my stuff is good and what you think I should do next. I think i will Dynamat my trunk soon. Please Reply

honestly?

It's okay. I'm not a big fan of kenwood at all. Memphis makes some decent stuff. Alpine subs are okay but not "great". Kicker's sub amps are decent. JBL, JL Audio, and MTX are other alternatives to consider.
good start though. better than factory I'm sure.

Congrats dude, personally I think that your type R's are the best bang for your buck subwoofer on the market, you won't be winning any Db comps with em' but you didn't put $400 into each speaker either. But I would stay FAR FAR away from Kicker AMPs and kicker in general, the biggest problem I have with the kicker amps are their crossovers. I have never really liked Mephis or Kenwood but I honestly don't know much about their newer stuff so I don't have much of a coment. HAVE FUN

I havent heard the Type R's but the reviews on them have been great for the money. I don't like Kenwood Decks too many friends have problems with there motorized pieces in particular. Memphis Subs I have heard though it's been a while the older (about 1.5 years) subs I heard sounded clean, I have never heard there mid's before.
