Farad Dual Link

Is this a good Sub set up? (links provided)?
if you pull up all four of these links these are the things i'm planning on putting in my jeep cherokee, is it a good set-up for the total price of about $400? Any suggestions on other setups or packages are VERRRY appreciated
-Thanks

NO, NO, NO
-the subs really lack sound quality
-the amp is far from CEA-compliant you would be lucky to get half of the advertised RMS wattage on a good day
-the cap is a waste of cash, better off with a high output alternator and you are far from needing one of those
-the box is suspect because they don't say the thickness of the wood used and that is very important
another $100 and you will not be disappointed
when it comes to car audio nine times out of ten you get what you pay for- and you need to look for CEA-compliant brands which means that the amps have been tested and produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion and the subs can handle their advertised RMS wattage also (distortion is the main cause of speaker damage over time)
here are the top CEA-compliant brands
Alpine (highly recommend)
Bazooka (don't like their subs)
Blaupunkt (don't like their subs)
Clarion
Eclipse
Infinity (highly recommend)
JBL
JL Audio (very good but over priced)
JVC
Kenwood (don't like their subs)
Kicker (the best in my opinion)
MTX (highly recommend)
Pioneer
Polk Audio (highly recommend)
PPI
Rockford Fosgate (highly recommend)
Sony (don't like their subs)
you want at least 400watts RMS if you are serious http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3867_Kicker+DCVR122.html ($300 for two 12inch Kicker CVRs) and for an amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13240_Pioneer+GM-D8400M.html ($210)
if you don't have enough right now take your time and buy it a piece at a time, that way you don't waste your time/money on sub par equipment that you will want to (or have to) replace soon after installing
