Ok, I've decided the system:

Unit: Pioneer AVH4200DVD (hopefully to make the steering wheel buttons work)
Front Speakers: Boston SR60 Comp. Speakers
Rear Speakers: Boston SR95
Speaker's Amp: Boston GT-475
Subs: Dual 12" Boston G312 (each 375w RMS @ 4 ohms)
Sub's Amp: Boston GT-2300 (300w RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms)

I hope it will be the best configuration possible. Looking at the prices online, it is not even too expensive

Damn I'm still undecided between 3 brands. Considering that the unit will be a Pioneer AVH4200DVD, I'm undecided about the following:

Front: Boston SR60
Rear: Boston SR95
Speakers amp: Boston GT-475
Subs: Boston GT3 (two of them)
Subs amp: Boston GT-2300

Front: Alpine SPR-17S
Rear: Alpine SPR-69C
Speakers amp: PDX-F4
Subs: Alpine SWR-1243D
Subs amp: Alpine PDX-M12

Front: Kicker QS65.2
Rear: Kicker KS6930
Speakers amp: Kicker ZX650.4
Subs: Kicker CompVX 12" (two of them) 2 ohms
Subs amp: Kicker ZX1500.1

What do you guys suggest? Does any of you have some of this equipment? Can you give me some advice? Thank you so much

right that amp makes 300 X2 @4 but its also rated at 1400X1 @ 2 bridged.

the reason im asking is because yes it will work stereo but you would never get full power out of the amp... long story short it isnt a bad thing but its not really optimal either

So what should I do as far as subs setup?

the subs ar efine if you want to go with those but im just saying i would look into a different amp. now u dont have to running that setup would work just fine but the GT-2125 would give u the exact same power for half the price. or the GT-2200 would give u more power to work with for cheaper as well. If i had to recommend an amp i would say the GTA-800M would be the best option for those subs since its a class D mono even thou its the "lower line"

yes it would give you 100w more per sub then the gt 2300 and draw less current from the car. perfect match power wise
