if u didnt know, cdt is coming out with new hds soon.
plus, hd is a more in your face and powerful kind of speaker, if u want somthing refined and smoother id go with dyn or the eurosports or the iriduums or custom

the speaker itself is the strongest part of a system
what are u gonna use for rear door? i suggest a 5.25 or 6.5 braxial set or just coaxial run off hu

and since u are spending big bucks and looks like this is gonna be a big install, why don’t u go horns, horns are awesome for sq and sound so smooth. Its just, the install will be tricky on a GS. The Image dynamics minihorn is good.
as for your processing unit, i would say, if u can afford the pioneer then go for it, it is basically the best in its price range and there are only a few units (mcintosh, alpine f1, denon,clarion copper ,eclipse copper, etc ) that can be even considered.
u dont need the hi lo converter, u should just run everything through rca connection. or zapco link... and u do not need a capacitor, just get a yellow top battery. ur setup and use doesnt quite justify a capacitor. and a capacitor under most circumstances will just destroy your battery and alternator at a faster rate

as for your sound deadening u are going to want to use secondskin deadening. It’s the best ive used so far in installing and what I use in my own car. To do the doors, back deck , whole trunk, under rear seats and pillars u will need ~ 3 gallons of second skin spectrum V2 and like 100 sq feet of Damplifier pro. If u want to make your engine quieter, u can get their hoodliner as well. This will leave u with enough to do other areas as well
If u want to go nuts, get another gallon and another 25 sq feet of deadener and pull up all your carpet and do the floor.

as for your subs, how much space do u want to give? sealed, or ported, bandpass, quarterwave, abc
as for the sq of the subs I have, they really are very good for your setup, and they will move with as little as 300 rms each and take as much as 600 rms each. In sealed configuration they would please you. They can get decently loud and stay controlled and smooth.
But in the end its up to u how loud u want your bass

Do you still I need to get two 15's (like the RE's you have for sale here ) or stick to two 12's like the Image Dynamics IDMAX series for my needs?
