Noise is secondary to SQ for me. The shallow sub was selected for space considerations. I'm hoping to keep this system in the range of $2500-$3000 for everything (including install). I understand there will be some minor components that may need to be purchased separately (backup cam, microphone, antennas, stearing wheel control converter, spacers, etc).
After doing some more research I think I'm going to go with the DNX7190HD or even DNX9990HD if I can find a decent deal - I'm not really sure what all the differences are between these two so need to investigate further. The screen size is the draw for me. Obviously the head unit will eat up a good chunk of my budget.
I'm pretty open on speakers, as long as the fronts are 2 way components (three way would be awesome if people think it would sound good to have a 1'' tweeter in the door above the 6.5'' and another mid high, maybe 2'', in the dash). Also, the sub should be a 10'' that would work well with Wicked CAS' box. As for the amp(s), I'm completely open.
Hopefully that helps give you guys an idea of where I'm coming from. Thanks again for taking a read and any advice you have.
Cheers

If you still want to go with the speakers and sub you originally selected the JL 500/3 would be a pretty good match without completely going off the deep end money-wise.
The 7190HD and 9990HD are fairly similar HU's, the 9990HD just happens to have more options since it's an Excelon... ie a second USB input, a more in depth eq setup, 5v vs. 4v preouts, etc and a 2yr vs 1yr warranty. Personally I don't think most of these things really matter much unless you're going for a competition level install though the extra year warranty is kind of nice. Frankly, if the worst decision you ever have to make is which one of these two HU's to go with you're doing plenty well for yourself!
