Getting serious with sound...IASCA build

Ok, I bought my tidewater blue 2010 Fit about a month ago and now its time to get some great sound coming out of the car! A little background about me: I am a professional car audio installer, certified international IASCA judge, audiophile and a general all-round car guy. Been doing this for 22+ years now. My shop deals in the audio gear you see before you so I am generally obligated to use what we carry. That said, the choices were fairly easy to make!

The car:

The gear:

Brand new set of Israeli made Morel Elate 6.5" components

JL Audio HD series amplifiers, JL 10W3 V6's (the brand new ones!)

I will be using a lot of sound deadener throughout the vehicle, a custom amp rack and a full fibreglass tub with plexi, lighting and some very cool colours and textiles. I will be posting my progress as I go...but please be patient as I am super busy these days! Feel free to ask any questions along the way.

That Morel Elate is sure are nice, (and very expensive).
I want to ask you, why you choose JL Audio Power Amp and not Zapco/Audison?
Isn't Zapco/Audison is higher end then JL Audio and more suitable for high end speaker like Morel?

Another Question,

are you going for Full Active setup for front channel,
or are you going to use the Passive Xover that came with the Morel ?
Thanks
