PewterPower,

The best thing you can do for your system is replace that factory head unit. You have selected great components, but the head unit and factory crossed-over amp is a major bottleneck in your system.

For reference, I had my system installed (Two pairs of Focal Utopia 165s front and back, two 8" Kicker Midbass in custom kick panels, two JL 13W7's in a vented enclosure powered by two JL 1000/1's, one JL 450/4, and one JL 300/2) with the factory deck for about 1 week. I was happy for a few days as the system sounded 100% better than the factory bose system. However, it didn’t take long to tell that the system was being choked by the factory deck. I replaced the factory deck with the new Pioneer AVHP6500DVD touch screen. It doesn't block the vents and it made a night and day difference to the sound quality of the system. I also installed a remote learning module to keep the existing steering wheel controls operational with the new pioneer deck.

Trust me, change the deck and you will not be disappointed.

As for monitors, I would suggest a single monitor in the dash. The headrest monitors attract a lot of attention at night and offer law enforcement a great reason to pull you over.

Good Luck,

SJ
