Thoughts on my Upgrade?

So I recently decided to upgrade the speakers in my 02 Saturn l200
I ordered some MM5251 (Great deal off the Polk ebay store)
Got a KnuKonceptz 8 gauge kit to run the system, with 60a fuses and 2 y rca splitters
So I have an old C400.4 amp laying around so I planned on hooking that up and Bi-Amping the speakers and using the Pre-EQ button the amplifier comes with.
I guess my question is, is there anything I could do to get better SQL out of my system, or is this the best route to go?
Thanks for the input!

I just put those same speakers in my 02 Focus and thus far I really like them. I am powering them with an Alpine MRX-F30 and it sounds really clean. Let us know how your system turns out, Id also be interested in any way to improve SQ.PhillBert

Just to throw it out there MM speakers need some time to break in so make sure to give it at least 3 weeks or so of break-in time before you judge them.
It's poissible your tunning will need to be re-done as once broken in they sound completly different then bran-new. In a good way offcourse.2008 Nissan Altima

Oh man... lol.... no.. (hides in shame lol)
I was gonna isntall them last weekend but after some "measuring up" i realized that tweeer cups for SRs will never sit right in my car due to car's angles so i have to either have tweets pointed right at my crotch (that's as close to "on axis as it'll get haha) or need to get creative with fiberglass/bondo/something... to get them mounted right.
Already bought extra mirror covers from the dealer, gonna start glassing over this weekend.2008 Nissan Altima
