Will these components work well together?

    I've picked out a few parts for a system I'm planning on buying, and I was wondering if these components work well together. I'm not too sure if I chose the right amp (don't know if it's too strong, not enough, or the right amount of power) for the system. If there's anything that needs to be changed or if you have any recommendations, please leave them here. Thanks in advance.

    * On-board differential inputs eliminates noise picked up by the signal cable
    * 4/2 channel operation
    * Integrated Trans•ana technology simplifies the signal path of the amplifier allowing the signal to travel through the amplifier at a lower voltage. The result is greater reliability and exceptional sound quality.
    * RCA Pass-thru outputs
    * Featured custom designed TO-247 MOSFETs have 60% more metal tab area providing more power handling capacity, lower impedance and improved heat dissipation over traditional TO-220 MOSFETs found in most competitor's amps.
    * Built in NOMAD is a "real time" analog computer that protects your amplifier from shorting speaker wires and dangerously low speaker impedances.
    * Cast aluminum heatsink evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink
    * Nickel-plated RCA level inputs
    * Nickel-plated screw terminals
    * Variable high-pass filter (50-500 Hz, 12 dB/octave)
    * Variable low-pass filter (50-500 Hz, 12 dB/octave)

    * Dimensions: 13.02"L x 7.625"W x 2.25"H
    * 4-gauge power and ground leads recommended.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Well.....

    I'd need just a little more info..... ;-) Just playing :)

    I'll tell you one thing, that is a SWEEEET deck right there ! I was just drooling all over that deck at Best Buy a couple days ago. Still trying to decide if I really need the 9887.... or if I will go on and get the 9886 as well. Still trying to find out the differences.

    Your power sounds good for your mids + highs, and I don't think you could go wrong with those Alpines..... but maybe a little light for the subs, even bridged into 2 ohms. I'm not trying to spend more money for you, but it would sure be great if you get get a seperate mono sub amp.... especially a class D.... but that would certainly raise the budget.
    I'm kind of surprised that the frequency response of your subs only goes down to 43hz though ? Most subs seem to be somewhere in the 20's. I know the Elemental Design 12"s I'm getting are rated down to 26hz. But maybe that's not too important. I know one can get carried away with the numbers, yet the system might still knock your socks off....

    Peace,
    Fish

    So your going to run the Alpines off of the front 2 channels and bridge the other 2 for the sub??. You sub is single 4 ohm coil rated at 400 and 800 peak, even bridged that amp is only rated at 200 watts bridged. The p3 can handle quite a lot of power, id suggest getting a seperate class D amp. I think with the setup your going with you will clip the signal going to the sub and will probably burn up your voice coil.
