Here are my thoughts on an audio system

Head Unit Alpine CDA-7894
Amp Alpine MPR-M200 (under the passenger seat)
Front Speakers Polk EX-2560 Componants
Rear Speakers Polk EX502a
Sub Wlaurent Enclosure w/RF Punch Z

Extras PAC-SWIX
Lucid Aftermarket harness

My thoughts are that the Polks are quite efficient so the high power Alpine will drive them without having to add a 4 channel amp. My only worries are the magnets for the EX502a fitting and the EX-2560 tweeters relpacing the stock units. Any feedback and suggestions appreciated.

The 501s are the ones without the grills. The 502s have a 9/16" grill and a mounting depth of 2 5/16". I can't find any spec on the magnet diameter. Would I need a speaker adapter for the door speakers ?

I edited my original post to link to the Polk specs.

Zissis,
did you cut the panel yourself or bought one from Lucid? you didn't have to do any modifications to Polk 6.5" speakers? do you know its magnet dia. by any chance?

I cut the panels myself. There's not much room for error. No mods had to be done to the speakers.
