Audio Gurus - can you check this order for me?

I'm pretty sure I've thought of everything but I was hoping someone with knowledge could review this to make sure I'm not missing anything or buying something that is obviously the wrong item or not needed. I have aleady installed Infinity 6.829's in the doors.

The goal on this is increasing sound quality and fullness, esp at volume. I listen mostly to top 40 or country music. I don't need it to thump like a high school kid but I do want it to punch and produce relatively clean bass lines without sounding like its struggling.

- Dual FoxBox Enclosure
- Two ARC 10v3 2-ohm, 250w RMS subwoofers
- P1000x5XD Rockford Fosgate Amp (4ch x 125w RMS plus 1ch X 500w RMS)
- PEQ (Remote amp gain ****)
- 4 gauge wire kit with fuse
- Two Line Output Converters
- 10 Farad Capacitor (is this really needed)
- Speaker wire
- Plywood / Carpet to mount behind rear seat

I appreciate your feedback. I know it's not the highest or most expensive equipment but I don't know that I need the best of the best of the best.

Capacitor isn't needed. Gain **** isn't necessarily needed since your going for more sq. Also I'd go with mdf for mounting the stuff on over plywood, better chance of it not vibrating itself apart.

Why two line out converters?
Have you chosen any specific brand of wire yet?

Everything else looks good to me though, sounds like a nice little setup.

I thought all wire was mostly created equally? I know its Monster wire, if that means anything to ya.

I'm happy that I've heard twice that the capacitor isn't needed. I'm going to get rid of it.

Two LOCs because the feed to the front speakers is completely different than the feed going to the rear speakers / sub. The front speakers also play the voice during calls or navigation.

Oh monster wires good, and no I wish it was equal though haha. I'm have some cheap brand 4 gauge in my garage that is smaller than some kicker 8 gauge I have. The 4 gauge has a huge jacket on it so it looks like it should but the core inside is 8 gauge wire at best.

I would move those infinity speakers to the rear and get a set of components for the front. You have probably already noticed that there is a cut-out for the factory tweeter behind the speaker grill in the front door.
