How does this sound? comes with a 3 year warranty and they do quality insalls, not a circuit city but not as custom as streeteffectz.
The subs are about $100 dollars over priced and so are the rear coaxils. But i already substitured the front spearks which their quote was 700 and the amp for the sub was 500 so i saved $750. If i start bringing in too many "out of store" items my install price will go up so the extra $200 doesnt bother me. Thoughts and comments please.

The most important thing to my mind is the quality of the installation and how well all the pieces complement each other.
-
Im not fond of RF products, but you are getting a good deal for installing as long as it is a reputable place.

Just my thought if you have cash, Not Credit Card or check, you tend to get a better deal. I just got my kicker 700.5, 2 12" JL W0`s, 4 - 6 1/2 kenwood excelons and 2 4" kenwood excelons, 2 pairs of Stinger RCA`s and all wire to install, plus the actual install for right under $1600 cash.
Just something to think about.

yes it will be paid for in cash. Half before and half after install

Personally i wouldnt bother with the Focal rears...jsut go front stage only. I`m also not fond of the speaker choices for the fronts and subs. i find the focals to have a bit too much tweeter but if you like them thats all that matters. i think you could do better for subs too. look into image dynamics.
The head unit is a great choice. though:up

Try and find different subs...I`ve never been too impressed with Rockford Subs.
Look into Image Dynamic, Resonant Engineering, Elemental Designs, Stereo Integrity. There are all kinds of subs you can get on line that will blow those Rockfords out of the water, and still cost relatively the same amount of money.
