Question Amp question...Is it enough juice?

Will this amp JL Audio 500/5 be enough to power this system?
http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps.php?amp_id=256

I am looking at the following pieces

Jl Audio XR-650CSI COMPONENTS
http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_c...hp?comp_id=120
Alpine IVA W-205 HEAD UNIT
http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/prod...model=IVA-W205
JL AUDIO TR570-CXI REAR SPEAKERS(REAR FILL)
http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_c...hp?comp_id=116
jl audio TW5 SUBWOOFERS(Not out yet)
http://mobile.jlaudio.com/jlaudio_pages.php?page_id=213
Or the IDQ 10d2 (no need for link, you guys are familiar with them)
Enclosed in a supercrew sound box.

I know the head unit has some power to fuel the components and rear fill, I just want to know if that amp is overkill, or perhaps I should look at another avenue, perhaps have the HU power compenents, and use a lesser amp dedicated to the subs alone. Thank you for your help. This set up would be going into a 2005 FX4 Screw, with original stock system in it. Thanks a lot!

I would say if you want a all-in-one look at the Kicker 700.5

No, sorry. If you did set of the 10w1v2-4 you whould be ok. But the TW5 13" need about 500 each..Everything else looks good, also look at alpines new 505- gunna rock the 205 and is the same price..

thanks!!

Thanks guys! Im gonna take a look at that kicker amp, and if they have something comin out thats nicer than the 205 I'll wait. (gotta wait for jl's new subs anyways) Thanks again and low e red you're the man. Hmmm an all in one.... I may just go for a 300 to power the speaks, and a 400+ for the subs. Either way I'll keep you updated.
