The RF puts out nice power but seems a little larger. I would toss in the Kicker PXA300.4 into the mix. I believe it is the smallest of all of them. I run 4 of them and love them.

It looks like the Rockford amp may not be 2 ohm stable if it’s not it would be out for me. The other two would prob do fine. If I were doing this I would go ahead and get 6 speakers to add 2 at mid cabin near the driver and passenger and run the rear line in 2 ohm to power them. The difference with mid cab speakers is night and day.

I just bought the clarion XC2512 and a clarion IB sub speaker. I'll probably install them this weekend with maybe a set of mid-cabin 6.5's.
