Pulled the trigger? Will this make a for a good system?
Pulled the trigger? Will this make a for a good system?
-Poineer Avic x930BT 650.00 Direct from Amazon LLC (not amazon vendor) with 100.00 Mail in rebate since Amazon is a Authorized dealer.
-Polk DB6501 in the Front and rear. (Not using the rear tweeter) 240.00
-Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 - Size and power 210.00
-Not going to go with a sub for now.
I didnt really care too much about deep base but mid base was important. I plan on keeping my car so I will get the doors deadened just in case there is a sub in the future.
Is there anything I should note about this install? I have heard mixed experiences regarding the fitting of the polks with the supplied brackets and the Crutchfield brackets. I will not do the install myself but would this be something standard, meaning there is not a lot of room for an experienced installer to screw things up? Should this be a walk in the park with no real modifications to my car : 2011 Honda Fit Sport w/o Navi.
Thanks for assistance.

I've noted before that I'm not a fan of crutchfield and their "install materials" when a local shop and some of your own sweat can make some speaker rings that work better than what is provided.
With that being said, the gear looks good. I've sold all of those brands in the past and they should give you no complaints. I agree with not using the rear tweeters but you also have the option of using them by making a tweeter bridge for the mid and not cutting into the door panel. Some beefy mids can get you some of the low end without using a sub but make sure that you seal the doors the best you can so that the mids have the best chance to sound good. Aside from deadening the install should be easy. Just make sure that some ham fisted installer doesn't scratch up that dash when it comes to actually doing the install.

I've been installing for about 9 years. Love the pioneer ddin (you got it for a good price too) the Polk stuff is good. I'm not a big fan of the RF stuff, but it works. Definentaly pick up some XTC baffles for the doors, they will give you good midbass and also keep your speakers from getting all wet and crap. As far as going somewhere to get it put in.. Honestly, do it yourself, that way if and when something stops working you can fix it yourself. Plus it's more rewarding.
