69' Suburban stereo plan

[ranger danger]

Ok so this is what I'm thinking about. I would appreciate constructive comments. I want to keep this in a reasonable budget. I have a JVC head unit I plan to use. I'm thinking Polk Audio DB651 6.5" in the two front doors and the two(?) rear doors. Id like to power them with a Rockford Fosgate Punch 600.4 amp. I have a pair of Hertz 4" speakers for in the center dash run on deck power for fill.

In the rear barn doors, Id like to put a pair of 10" subs (brand undetermined) powered by a separate Rockford Fosgate amp. Yes!!! I plan on cutting up perfectly good barn doors!

The head unit and Hertz speakers are paid for, the Polk's I can get on Amazon for about $60 a pair ($120) and the Punch amp I can get for about $350 on Amazon. Which sub's and amp would compliment this system? Does this sound like a decent system?

For the subs, how would a pair of 10" Kicker L7 Solo Baric's driven by a Rockford Fosgate 1200 watt mono amp sound?

How solidly do your barn doors close? Mine have a bit of play and subs in them would rattle like crazy.

There is a small amount of play but I think I can cure that with some adjusting and extra weather seal. The problem is I cant figure out anywhere else to put them with the carpet kit installed in the back.

Could they mount in the benches? Use them like sub boxes?

No. There will be times when I remove the benches for hauling larger items, cleaning etc.

Those L7's would probably blow apart the rear doors.

You are gonna need about 30-40 sq feet of sound deadener (dynamat) in those two doors to keep them solid, then need to fiberglass the insides to make a proper chamber. Sounds like an awesome idea, but it gonna be lots and lots of time to keep it going.

I would probably not recommend doing the 4" in the dash, I would say you'll get better sound going with a better speaker in the front doors, maybe a component speaker with separate tweeter in the dash location.
