Decided on new setup. opinions anyone?

Well getting the stuff , i am fine with constructive criticism / compliments


HU : Clarion HX-D10
FRONT SPKRS: Crystal cpe60s components
REAR SPKRS: Digital Designs DDW6.5 Midbass woofers.
SPKR AMP: US Acoustics 4065 65X4 @12.9V
SUB: Elemental Designs 12" O series
BOX: custom sealed 1.5cubic 3/4 MDF box
SUB AMP: Soundstream Rubicon 500

Ok that's it. Much better than my old system, i got all this for $750 total for everything hunting around for a bit, i am not a big balla, but i am very happy with this system.

I'm guessing they aren't installed yet? If so, how to the speakers sound? I am just beginning the searching process for my system, I have only decided on the HU: Pioneer DEH-P6500...so any opinions would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the 6500 but the 7500 is good so i say you should enjoy it!

I am not running my speakers off HU power anyway so i basically narrowed it down to the few without internal amps and it basically comes down to a small # of choices at the end

I have a Pioneer 6400 in my max with a fosgate 900 watt amp powering the factory bose up front and polk 6x9s in the back. in addition i have 2 eclipse 12s powered by an Alpine V12 amp. I like my 6400 but its starting to lack in features for what I want it to do (other than XM) so I am going to step up to the 7500. Everyone I know loves the sound quality of my ride.
