thanks for the help all...got my equipment

[wennington99]

ended up with Hertz High Energy 5.25 comps, Hertz DCX 5.25 coaxials for rear duties, bought new in store at a great price

JL 5001/v2 and JL 300/4 v2 amps bought used in mint condition

and just today a pair of 12w6v2's used but still in box and never seen power

so once I figure out the box, my installer will build it, hook up the rest and then I'll start looking at sound deadening

thanks to those who helped with the advice that led up to all this, I think I've been able to thus far put together something decent equipment-wise at a decent price while keeping the electrical load fairly light

now to the install.........
