Great advice in here, thanks a lot Sasha! I think I just suckered myself into getting the component speakers as well. So, so far it looks like I'll be getting:
- The Kicker ZX850.4
- Sony CDX-GT710 receiver
- Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 sub with Bassworks ported enclosure
- Phoenix Gold RSD Component set (I want that wow factor)

Coming in at a total of 700-750 dollars...not installed. Considerably more than I wanted to pay but, hey, its the amp that I'm really shelling the money out for. I figure I can always upgrade subs easily (if I ever even wanted to) and just keep the same powerful amp. I'm such a sucker for music

Thank you to everyone who gave me advice.
Peace.
