I might recommend the W6 over the W3, its a big step up in quality.

Atomic - I cannot find a box to fit under one side of the back seat for a w6 and I have a hd900/5 that meets the w3 requests - so I will stick with that I think.

07 Z71- What alpine would you recommend that offers the apple carplay?

So far I received my C5-650x for my rear, along with my mhd900/5 amp.

I am still trying to figure out what I am doing for my sub. I originally planned on a subthump box for a single 12w3v3 under my rear seat, but after listening to one today I may start researching the 13tw5v2 ... Only a sealed box is offered by subthump, and the w3 I heard didn't get quite as low hitting as I want.

Yikes I feel like JL is a total waste of money. Have you heard of Digital Designs or sundown?

I have actually. I would be thinking twice, but I get JL at cost for the most part. The amp I bought used NIB, along with the Rear speakers.

After hearing an identical setup yesterday I am debating on a 13tw5 instead of a w3. Has anyone heard one?

Also have the microsub 8 with an old school jx250/1 under my rear seat and love it. Does NOT sound like an 8" at all. JL door speakers with the PAC add an amp to an alpine powerpak 45x4 all behind the dash. Stock head unit. Loud and crisp and looks stock. Next step is to wire up the JBL ms-8 I scored from Craigslist, can't wait for that.
