Question Rockford system in the works.

I'm building a new Rockford Fosgate system and just curious as to the thoughts of other Rockford enthusiasts out there.
Here are the system specs atm.

Vehicle: '04 Mazda Sport Hatchback
Subwoofer: Rockford Fosgate T212D4 12" 1000 Watt RMS / 2000 Watt Peak 4-Ohm DVC Subwoofer
Sub Amp: Rockford Fosgate T1500-1bdCP 1500 Watt Class-bd Constant Power Amplifier
Component Speakers: Rockford Fosgate T2652-S 6.50" 100 Watt RMS / 200 Watt Max 4-Ohm Aluminum
Component Amp: Rockford Fosgate T400-2 400 Watt 2-Channel Amplifier
Power Source: Kinetic KHC2000 2000 Watts, 12 Volt High Current Power Cell

I plan on running 2 T212D4's with 2 T1500-1bdCP's with 2 KHC2000 powering them. The reason I chose the T212D4's is because I like the looks of them and I don't need anymore power then that. The components I plan on running of my cars battery which should be sufficient. ATM I already have the T2652-S which I ordered online. The rest of the equipment is looking to be around $3,750 including sound dampener and the custom box outfit for the trunk.
Now I haven't selected a deck yet for it cause I haven't found quite what I'm looking for. I want a double-din 7" touch screen which can play my iPhone music videos, GPS and cam. The closest I've been able to find is Power Acoustik PTID-7250NR.
I'm mainly interesting in what others think about this set up as I plan on doing it all this summer.

Alpine WNA-900 or 901 would be a good deck. You may need an additional cable to do iPod video. JVC also just brought out some heads u might wanna look at. No experience with Rockford stuff but sounds like it should pound. Only doing front stage by the sound of it? Good luck. Rockford seams to work for Steve Meade!

Looks like a great RF system. Save yourself some cash on the amps though. Most T1000-bdcp's are in the 1500rms+ range so you could easily just run two of those instead of the T1500's. And really, most of the T1500-bdcp's are at least 1700 and many are in the 1900 range so you could just run one of those on the two T2's. Either way you'll save yourself a good chunk of change.

Kenwood makes nice double-DIN's but really most of the decent double-DIN decks can do what you want.

Ok. So I got the Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD and this deck is sick. Have the USB hooked up to my iPhone 4s to play music videos. Ran a bypass switch so passengers can watch while I'm driving. Here is a simple pic of what it looks like.

Sounds well thought out. I'd second the dual T1000's instead of T1500s. What type of enclosure are you planning?

I would probably go with a single T1500 and one kinetik hc2000. Anymore than that and you should probably add a high output alternator to that list.

Hey DrG.
A system after my own heart!!
looks good to me !! just an update tho, the T2's have gone to 1200rms with the new generation, but either way Hardwrkr is right , most t1000's will give you 1300ish.. or more. so it all depends on how much head room you like to have. will the do ?? yes!! would the T1500's do it better? .... Yes.
what dealer are you working with for your Rockford Gear??

I'm actually using different sellers from EBay to get my Rockford stuff. I've just been very impressed with Rockford products so I'd like to stick with what works right?
I just ordered a T400-4 with a set of T165's. Going to hook up the T2652's and the T165's to the T400 amp running off a 800W power cell. See how that sounds and then I'm going to look into the subs. The enclosure I wanna build will be ported but also built into the trunk so it'll have a nice professional look to it.
