    I may be revising my amp selection; I was thinking that the A-7 for the front would be better than the A-3. Because the 6.3's have two crossovers, one for the mid range and one for the mid base and tweeter combo would it be better for each to have its own amp output? Thus the A-7 in front sixty watts to drive each of the front units with a hundred watts for the 10 inch sub and the back would have the A-2 for the 6.2's Also I am looking at the Pioneer DEX-P9, Pioneer DEQP9 combo for the head unit. Any comments?
    Has any bought from woofersect.com what was your experience?

    A line driver amplifies the output signal of your head unit to the amps. This makes them less likely to pick up any noise. I wouldnt worry about getting one.

    I would wait and get your system put together first then worry about EQ's and processors. You can really do a lot with a good head unit. 30 band EQ's and such should come into play once youve got your stuff installed and set up to where it sounds good and you just want to do a little fine tuning.

    I believe an EQ is a very valuable tool in a car. You have surfaces that will reflect sound, making certain frequencies sound harsh, as well as some that will absorb sound. The EQ will make music in your car alot more enjoyable to the ears.

    That is one sweet SQ setup. If you could get that, jump all over it.

    yes but would the combination work as I listed them? Or would the a5 a3 amp combination work better? How about comparing the nakamichi hu to the pioneer p9?

    I dont' see why not, unless I am missing something.

    The amp combination will depend on how much tweaking you want to do with the amps themselves. The A7 looks like it would work nicely, and still give you a good amount of power.

    As far as the HU's, I would go with the one that fits your particular system best. Meaning the one that has the features that you want/need in your system. I personally would opt for the Pioneer unit beacause of the tuning capabilites, but that's me.
