Series/Parallel Config ?

Right now she is stock. I just bought the car 2/17/10. I have too many options working at a stereo shop. Alpine gave us a free INA-w900 double din/nav. My boss put it in his car but he doesn't like it so when the Kenwood DNX-9960 ships he is going to swap it and I can have the Alpine for free ($1100 retail) Like I said earlier we are picking up Hertz-Audison and I can get a free set of speakers of my choice from them. I want the Hi-Energy HSK163 3 way component set. If I have to buy amps and sub I will probably go JL audio. 1 12w7 and the new XD amplifiers. I get JL at 70% off. On the other hand we are a Kenwood Excelon dealer and they have a demo car program to kill for but you have to run their head unit, amp or amps and at least 1 pair of speakers BUT you get it for about 85% off . If I do that I will get the DDX-896 double din, XR-5s and XR-1s amps, KFC-xw1224d sub and a set of KFC-X1730 for the rears. I will still do the Hertz up front. TOO MANY DECISIONS...

i personally would stay away from kenwood... tho I loved my 719deck I had (the 1st decent mp3 deck on the market back in 2000).

the joy about running a small mid + midbass is that that 3-4" drivers can cover most of the audio spectrum, 200hz- 15khz usually is very possible, so the tweeter only needs to play the top octave, and you only need 3 octaves from the midbass/midbass + sub combo.

I actually really like the Kenwood Excelon head units. Their double dins have 5v pre outs and 13 band eq and 2 year warranty. Besides that I can get a $1000 deck 2 $500 amps a $200 sub and $200 speakers for about $400 for everything. It's hard to beat that deal. Trust me it is not my 1st. choice but the price might sway me that way.
