would this be a good set up?

I'm restoring my 88 camaro and I'm going to get the interior and stereo system done before I paint it. Anyways this is the set up im looking to get i already have 2 12's and an amp that I'm plenty happy with which is 2 hifonics hooked up to a 1000 watt Sony xplod class d amp and each speaker is getting a little less than 600 rms here are links to the headunit and speakers im wanting to go with. Also attached is a pic of the subs and amp I had in my firebird that is going into the camaro.


the head unit would be installed with a hu mount adapter to give it that clean look.

two of these would be hooked up to an adapter plate for the sail panels and the other 2 would go into the doors with a baffle.

and this amp to power them

this is the amp i have i was off on the wattage it puts out a little less but it made my subs hit pretty hard considering each sub was only like 30 bucks and they were hooked up to 4 ohm's each i may bridge them to 2 ohm's and keep the gain low

I also have this head unit which is basically new because it was in the car 6 months and the car was driven maybe once a month but I'm wanting to with either an alpine or pioneer.

before anyone starts bashing you. that sony amp is actually one of the good ones. i used to have it, bought it twice. never disappointed me, never got hot or shut down. it hit very hard. definitely shut up all the ppl that said it was a pos

yeah I got this amp brand new for 80 bucks so I just went for it some Sony products are good but some are junk I've been pretty happy with this amp I only had the gain up about 1/4 way and i could smell the voice coils burning up and i had to turn the gain down even more lol
