I think what they are saying is that the kit sucks, but stand alone the products are solid if they are paired up properly amp-speaker speaker to amp.

Aka, don't buy the kit.

Ok, I got it. I didn't buy the kit but kinda ended up with it. I bought the amp new for $395. Thinking I would buy some speakers to go with it and was thinking about the hertz 165.3's. Then I found a guy that had 4 new 602's that I bought for $400 which I thought was a good deal. So should I buy another set of speakers and use only one set of the 602's or not use the 602's at all? Or use the 602's and buy another amp. I am just looking for better than stock, not the ultimate.
Thanks Allen

I'd go ahead and hook the amp up to the 4 speakers and judge for yourself. Might be all you need. Sometimes I get a little too judgemental on some of this stuff because I've heard and installed so many other systems. So yeah, I'd suggest you try the speakers out first and if you're not happy with it, we'll go from there.

Thanks for your input and help. This has been a real learning experience. And I am sure I will learn more, it's just usually the hard way. Lol.

Allen that's exactly where we started at too. If you're not careful it can turn into a unicorn real easy.
