beats the hell out of my first setup....the best way is to just do it and learn from your mistakes...im sure we all have made an "upgrade" and wondered what the hell we were thinking so im sure that along the way you will make a few steps back but just keep at it....those power acoustik amps are not top notch but they are like the buicks of the world....when you want something good but cant buy a cadillac

I'd have gone 3 way in front, 2 way in back.
lose the power craptastic and jensen amps, and maybe get a single 5 channel solution, or at least more reliable amps like JBL or Avionixx. still cheap, but much better build quality.
I won't knock the duals since they were free, but skip the L5 garbage, and look at round subs. Kicker compVR, or other brands will do much better unless all you want is cheap and loud.
those square subs suck.

the rest sounds pretty good.. those are my suggestions for improvement.
that capacitor isn't really helping you either, by the way.

Doing it yourself is how you learn. Thats how many of us have learned.

I think your moving in the right direction. Your subs are the weakest link. Im not sure if I would reccomend the Kicker L5 or L7. They just came out with a new sub that looks promising and round. If your set on a kicker I advise this one:

CompVX

Many people on here will recommend to stay away from the Kicker square subs because they have many problems.

But what you have so far beats what my first system is. I have an alpine cda-9851, 2 15" Kicker comp vr's and Legacy 2 channel amp. Nothing done to the door speakers yet but need to. I did everything myself, with the help of my dad.
