i already replaced the hu a while back with an alpine ida-x100 (perfect for ipods)

now im trying to replace the speakers n amps and mebe add a subwoofer

heres what i have in mind, trying to keep all within alpine:

Alpine - 6-1/2" 2-Way 330W Component Car Speakers (for the front)
Model: SPR-17S | SKU: 8222318


Alpine - 6-1/2" 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers (Pair) (for the back)
Model: SPR-17C | SKU: 8222336


Alpine - 400W Class D Bridgeable 4-Channel MOSFET Amplifier with Adjustable Crossover ( the speakers are rated 100-110 max rms, so i guess this is fine? not too knowledgable on how this works, can i get a stronger amp like 150w x 4, would that **** up the speakers)
Model: PDX-4.100 | SKU: 8699385


Alpine - 250W Subwoofer with Integrated PDX Digital Amplifier and Enclosure (not too sure bout this, wut do u think?)
Model: PLT-5 | SKU: 7917007






so basically wut do u guys think? is this a good setup? should i change anything? will everything work good together?

also for wiring, a lil help on that would be great
i saw harnesses for the speakers but i dunno if thats a good idea for quality

so any suggestions/help would be great

thanks

What year is your car? Is it a coupe or vert? The Alpine Type R speakers are nice, but I would get different sizes to make the install easier. The PDX amp is really nice and has a lot of power so you're good there. I'm not a fan of the self powered sub setup as they don't have as much output as a typical woofer/box setup, but if you want a small enclosure it would work. Assuming that you have a coupe, I would get 5x7's for the rear as they will drop right in without the need for an adapter plate. As far as wiring, search around in this forum and you should find some usefull info, but if you are not too experienced with installing I would pay a shop to do it for you.

2002 coupe

ya i think ima pass on the subwoofer, gonna get something better, not sure what yet, but im def keeping it all alpine

the reason i picked it is i work at best buy, and our car audio discount is nuts

but the amp is not discounted :\

ima get 2 of these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8699349&type=product&id=1199494646190

wut do u think about those?

the only thing is its 150 rms x 2, so its over the 100-120 rms of the speakers, would that **** em up?

and my friend is gonna help me out with the wiring, but hes not familiar with the stang system, we'll figure it out tho

i already got the speakers, ther were the most powerful alpines there, so thats y i got em lol, ill make em fit, according to crutchfield they should
