Default Audio goodies for the Denali

Greetings!

I recently purchased an 04 Denali and picked up a bunch of new goodies for the audio system. The line up is as follows:

Pioneer avh-p4300dvd
Rainbow cmx 465 extreme 6.5" three way speakers (2 x 6.5 woofers & tweeter)
Alpine pdx-5 5 channel amp
JL audio 8w7
4 awg kicker amp kit
10 awg speaker wire x 50ft
Monster 4 channel RCA cables (crazy thick insulation)
Monster 2 channel RCA cables (same thickness)
Custom made enclosure for sub w/factory color carpet and Denali logo in raised lettering
Viper 5904 alarm

Plus other goodies like a reverse camera and an auto EQ mic for the head unit. The sub box is sealed and made to fit between the captains chairs in the back. I also have a DVD player and a 15" monitor to mount to the roof. I'm having trouble finding a way to install the monitor since the truck has a sunroof.

I will be installing all this starting on Friday and I will be posting pictures shortly afterwards. My main concern is what crossover settings I should use. I mainly listen to heavy metal but I am quick to switch to rap, dubstep, and everything between. I want to be able to "feel" the double kick from the drummer hence the 3 way speakers and the sealed enclosure. I've been told to set the LP around 65hz. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.

Here's a teaser pic of the box to keep you visual people at bay.

Thanks

It's nice to see someone go with a solid set-up that's away from the normal. Rainbow makes good stuff, and you'll be very happy with that h.u. It's very straight-forward, only thing I wouldn't go with would be those Monster rca's but I'm sure they'll be fine. Personally, I'd stick 'round about 65 with the lp, maybe even a little higher if need be. Just tweak it with KNOWLEDGE once everything is up and running. Also, you can find mounting hardward for overhead's everywhere out there on the web, you can also get plenty of options from your local retailer most likely, depending on where you're at. If that doesn't work out for you, shoot me a message or post back on here concerning the mounting.

Thats a pretty sweet box, I've been looking at alternative mounting for subs in my new ride as well.
