Post My first SQ system!

Hello everyone, im new to the forums as a poster, but have been a reader/creeper for the past few weeks.

To start off im going to list what i have to work with.

Amplifiers:
Clarion APX1301-Mono-
.....400RMS x1 @2ohms, 300RMSx1 @4ohms
JL A3400 - 4 channel-
.....RMS Power @ 4 Ohm: 45 watts x 4 at 12.5 volts
.....RMS Power @ 2 Ohm: 75 watts x 4 at 12.5 volts
Jl E2150 -2 channel-
.....RMS Power @ 4 ohm: 45W x 2 (12.5 V)
.....RMS Power @ 2 ohm: 75W x 2 (12.5 V)

Speakers:
Jl 6x9 TR 690txi, 60RMS@ 4 ohms.
Kicker 5 1/4 KS5250 45RMS @ 4 ohms.
And some infinity tweeters which i pulled from a 1996 caravan at a pick and pull for 4$ On the back it reads: infinity 5790, and underneath that 36670.

Subwoofer:
Clarion PXW 1251 - 500RMS @ 2 ohms.

This is what i have to work with, and im wondering what your opinion is as to what i should utilize to make the most of the SQ here.
Im going to be installing all this by myself, and my main goal is to have a clean sounding system, not loud.

Thanks for any help from a first timer!

best advice I can give is place the speakers where you think you might like them to be, install them temporarily then listen to them for a few days, then move them and listen some more, until you find "the spot" to put them, then install them properly.

Or you could be like MTT and have them sit forever on your dash or change drivers until you finds sonic bliss.

Thanks for the positive replies.

this is going into a 96' dodge grand caravan so there is already place for 8 speakers.
5 1/4 in the dash
5x7 in the front door
6x9 in the back
tweets in the rear.

So i think im going to use the pre-fab spots.

btw the 5 1/4 is a tweeter. and the front door IS a 6x9 not 5x7 and the rear of course a 6x9. if you want SQ dont do doors and dash. either dash or just the doors. personnaly just use the doors. and shove a tweeter to where it sounds best.

welcome new caravan hahahahha join the little club :P
