Opinions on my potential setup?
Before I go ordering components, I figured I'd check with the experts. Just looking for some better sound since the stock speakers are really harsh. Nothing competition quality. Doing the install myself.

HU: Pioneer F-X710bt (already installed)
Amp: Alpine PDX-5 (5 channels, 75x4, 300Wx1)
Front Speakers: Boston Acoustics SX60 Components
Rear Speakers: Boston Acoustics SX65 2-Ways
Sub: 12" Phoenix Gold XS DVC (already own from my H.S. stereo, haha)
Enclosure: Audio Integrations 12" Trunk Box
Sound Deadening: B-Quiet Ultimate

I'd ditch the rear speakers and bridge the amp for the fronts. FWIW, I have mint sets of SL60s and Pro60s for sale. Please PM if interested.

hahaha I resent that! I am 17, and didnt get it from best buy. I Second Skined my entire trunk and it still rattles!
2 rockford 12s and a 1kW amp is just too much for my poor trunk. my next venture is to buy verrry thick weather stripping to see if that will tighten it down a bit

If the sub will be used to play music, the trunk shouldn't rattle. Here are a few thoughts on deadening:
