Default New audio setup, comments please!

Any audio geeks I could use your input on this one.. first of all id like to know what you think the quality of my new door speakers is like...

Diamond D1
Diamond Audio Technologies - D161.5i - 6.5" Coaxial Speakers

Are those any good and will they fit?

My new amp to replace my current amp..

400W RMS which will be power two 12's which put out 200W RMS each.

New amp: Diamond Audio Technologies - DIAMOND 400.1 400 Watt Monoblock Amplifier

to replace my old amp (current subs on this link too)- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Kenwood+...&skuId=9389173


So for all of this, was it quality choice on products? Will my amp power my subs correctly? Any input appreciated

just be careful with the subs. they cant really handle 400w but the extra power should get them a bit louder. amp and speaker should be golden thou

Shouldn't the subs just about equal out with 200W capable per sub, and the amp putting out 400W dividing into the two? And the diamond amp cost me 200$ on sale from 300$, and the speakers came with that party pack I posted from best buy

emperorjj1 do you have any past experience with diamond audio? Good quality or not so much? Judging by the costs I figured they would be =p

its good stuff man. ive had alot of experience with the amps and done maybe one or 2 setups with the subs. overall good stuff. as far as the power goes i forgot the party pack is 8 ohm. so at 4 ohms you should be fine. 150w is probably the most id say those subs could actually handle if that.
