2) I hope you don't get any engine noise with the EQS... I used to get a lot of noise with the Audio Control EQs (but not with the crossovers). The current series should be better, but I don't have direct experience with them.
3) I personally don't like the sound of most ported boxes and I would use a sealed box in that application. Ported boxes are bigger and for a long-travel woofer like the W6v2 you get a lot of port noise you don't need to hear (in a trunk you wouldn't hear it, but in an SUV it's pretty easy to hear).
4) Since they are discontinued, where did you get the amps?
5) Hear the Diamonds in a car before buying them, and listen for like 10 minutes straight. I find their tweeters to be impressive-sounding at first, but fatiguing to listen to over time. Also, their xover frequency doesn't allow them to play as low as I would want a dash-mounted tweeter to play to pull vocals up into the center... I would suggest in that price range you consider the DLS UP6 set. I have these in my Acura and they are our most popular component set.
Other than that, I have no opinions... : )

What about noise in the JL CleanSweep product? That was supposed to be the end to all OEM integration issues. That is the product my local shop is pushing for my solution. Is it as clean as they say, and is the output really corrected to almost linear? Does it provide the clean audio at the voltage stated in the manual?
They want to run a two-way component in front with the tweets crossed around 5K, a two-way in the rear for fill (very low gain) and a custom fglass box on the right side with a 10'. Amps on a special rack under the false floor. (4x125 and 1x400)
