Just installed my stereo

I just replaced the stock or "optional" 6 disc indash cd changer stereo in my STI with a Kenwwod KDC-3011 and KDC-715 10 disc changer, if you all would like some pics lemme know, and now on to the speakers! I was looking at a JL amp and 2 10" Kicker subs any thoughts or suggestions?

I have the tweeters already installed (Subaru Style),

I am new to the stereo mod thing so be kind thanks

Any issue with fm reception? I replaced my stock deck with a Kenwood KDC-X859 and get no stations. I put a signal amplifier in and managed to get 2 stations. I pulled the kenwood out of my 02 wrx which got where it got a ton of stations. Not sure if I did something to the deck in the transfer, or if it has something to do with the window antenna

Connect the power antenna lead on the wiring harness.

JL Audio amp is a good choice, but try listening to other subs. There are a lot of better subs out there. If your going with spl kicker is ok, if you want sq you can check out infinity, image dynamics, mb quart, focals, cdt, elemental designs.

Did you use one of the wiring harness that connect the aftermarket harness to the factory harness? If so which brand and where did you get it? I just got a kenwood HU for my STi but I havent gottena round to installing yet and this is my last question.
thanks
