I am the biggest loser, but I bought everything except speakers, I mean, even my install is done, but no speakers.

I have the Rockford Fosgate RFX-8130 head unit, with the PA2 pre-amp/equalizer. That runs to three Rockford amplifiers, a 55.2, a 60.2 and a 225.2.

My trunk is pretty butter, where the right side panel will hold the cross overs, the left one has the 3 capacitors, the floor of the trunk is nothing, the back wall is the three amps, and the box will fit in the back side of the amp rack!

WHAT SPEAKERS FOR ALL POSITIONS SHOULD I USE???

I got the 225.2 for the subs, either 3-10's, 2-12's, 2-15's or 3-12's.

I got a 55.2 for a compont set that will take over the rear fill, use to be a 6*9.

I got the 60.2 which will power two component sets, runned into 2 ohm stereo! One set will be in door and dash, and one it kick panels

I want my speakers to be either Rockford Fosgate, JL Audio, Polk, ADS, Cerwin Vega, PPI or Soundsteam.

I agree with Tiny, you could run some w6's or w3's. The 225.2 put out around 600 watts bridged not 500.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 225.2 and the 250.2 are from TWO difference Series of RF amps.

the 225.2 is an older model amp, whereas the 250.2 is newer? (sorry, I thought he said 250a2)

How do you get a 2 ohm load from your two 8ohm speakers? Simple! Get two more 8 ohm Subs and wire all of them in parallel OR trade those 8 ohm subs in for two 4 ohm subs.
