Interesting list there haha but I'll give it a go you say you want SPL but a little SQ on the side for $600 and you want to fit it all in your back seats? So do you need the WHOLE setup?

Headunit
Wiring
Subwoofers
Amplifiers
Enclosure
Door Speakers

or what?

Headunit: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500CDE121/Alpine-CDE-121.html?tp=5684#details-tab
Amplifier: http://www.amazon.com/Quart-Onx1-1000d-Class-Monoblock-Amplifier/dp/B0053EQXIG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1328835487&sr=8-3
Subwoofer(s): http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-466
Components/Tweeters/Crossovers: http://www.audioque.com/AQ-TS65_p_144.html
Wiring: http://www.amazon.com/KnuKonceptz-KCA-Complete-Gauge-Installation/dp/B0050I6KII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328835652&sr=8-1
Enclosure: http://www.eeebay.com/itm/12-Dual-Labyrinth-Slot-Vented-Subwoofer-Box-/220935389783?pt=LH%5FDefaultDomain%5F0&hash=item3370c68257#ht%5F2289wt%5F1344

$724.99 Shipped with warranties all new. I've used the Headunit it's actually pretty nice and I've used that amplifier and it does rated and pretty clean. Those Subwoofers are the greatest sounding 12's you'll ever hear for the price and can take every bit of their rms and then some 500w to each would be ideal and you would still get a lot from them. Never used the components but you can't beat all of that for $100 from a company like AQ plus I hear their components are nice.

I'm sure you could cut corners on a few things and save a dollar or two but for the most part a nice setup like you'r elooking for will put you in the ball part of $700 or so.

another thread were you give terrible advice. telling him to get a single 4 ohm sub and underpower it by over 225 watts. does this really make sense to you? underpowering kills subs genius -.- on top of running at 4 ohm is a waste of money.

and audiosavings is not an mb quart authorized dealer last time i checked so the mb quart amp is not covered by warranty like you claim.

stop giving bad advice
