Well, personally I would run 6.5's or 5.25s up front (6.5's if you can swing it) and leave out the 6x9s. They dont produce great sound. The head unit looks good. I'm sure the 5 channel amp is fine. Id reccomend MTX amps. It all really comes down to HOW IT SOUNDS TO YOU!!

How does it sound to you?
What size are your front components? Where / how are they installed?
What are your crossover points?

i would agree, I think that 3.5's would be quite small up front. I run 6.5 component sets in the front of our civic, and 5 1/4s for rear fill. I tend to stay away from 6x9's

3.5s just dont put out enough sound. I had some Memphis 3.5s in my old Cavalier, they just dont get very loud. Try fitting some 6.5s in the doors, if you cant maybe build some custom kick panels.
