Sry for the delay in reply! Been a tad pre-occupied!
Head unit – fine gd choice – it has a gd clean sonic signature and a decent pre amp stage.
Rear speakers – DON’T INSTALL THEM! – Various reasons why:
- they pull your stage height down – when listening to car audio it should sound as though the instruments and singers are placed approx 3” above your dash board – because the speaker location in evos are pants to start of with you’d have to install your mids in the doors and tweeters on the a pillar – approx 4” from the bottom – facing out towards the bonnet slightly. When you install rear speakers it pulls the stage further back from the dash more towards the centre concel.
- They create a muddiness to your tonal accuracy – you will finds this mainly on male vocals.
Amp for the speakers – seems fine – I cant seem to find the current draw figures on it – very important to see this – this is what determines how much current the amplifier needs to deliver the power that the manufacture states: ie if the amp runs 1000w rms @ 1 ohm it mush use 60 amp for example – if you can only deliver 50 amps into the amp you will only get a ratio of the current with the ohmage.
Amp for the sub seams dandy too.
Sub – is far too small for an evo – although you say you only require a small amount of bass – by the time you get the 8” woofer to perform it will be distorting – mainly because ef the distance it has to travel. You would be much better off with either a 10” or my suggestion a 12”. – weight wise I very much doubt you’ll tell the difference in the car!
Only thing left that you missed is dynomat – a necessity in Evos – the door panels are very poor for letting sound out – you must deaden the panel to allow a better transfer.
And when setting the car up – I’d suggest to run the drivers side mid out of phase – it will focus your centre stage a lot better.
