Just wondering everyone's thoughts on the following items

Alpine SPX-137R Type X 5-1/4" 2-Way Component (front only)
http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/prod...?model=SPX-137R

Alpine MRV-F545 4/3/2 Channel Power Amplifier (for the components)
http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/prod...?model=MRV-F545

Alpine SWX-1042D Type X 10" Subwoofer
http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/prod...model=SWX-1042D

Alpine MRD-M1005 Mono Power Amplifier (to power sub)
http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/prod...model=MRD-M1005

Just something I was looking at. Roughly looking at about 2200$ here plus tax. But just tell me if you have any suggestions, or ideas that might be cheaper. This would prolly go as costly as I would.

Or as a side option instead of the MRD M1005, and the Type X 10",

Alpine SWR-1242D Type R 12" Subwoofer
http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/prod...model=SWR-1242D

And another MRV-F545 for this sub.

not a fan of type x components... there are much better systems for the price.

Same here. Look around... but if your going for a complete Alpine setup, those arent bad.

i can tell you right now you won't be disapointed with the alpine Type X 10" Sub..it's f'in amazing! I love mine :D

So for components wat else should I look into, Going to be look at some clarions, but anything else?

If your looking at type X stuff compare it to Focal or Jl XR series. I really like the JL's.

get a set of focal polyglass. and call it a day

The only thing ko from alpine is there decks but even there not that great. Check out Eclipse or Kaption

type r if you're doing a ported enclosure
type x if you're doing a sealed enclosure (gotta make use of that xmax ;) )

but of course, if you're spending $2200, there is likely much better you can do. what are you hoping to accomplish here?

Good point, sq, spl, or both?
