Think I have a system to buy...please tell me how it is?
Dont have a big budget I just want alot better then stock..
gonna do the cd player last after I install all the speakes and amp..
Fronts
rear middles....
6x9's
amp...
I dont really want a sub but id like some decent bass....would the 6x9's give me decent bass or should I get something like a infinity basslink?
I know not the best system in the world but thats all around my price range....
will i have any fitment issues and what kind of wiring kit would u recommend.

You have way too many speakers. 1 set upfront properly installed and powered is all you need. 2nd, you won't get decent bass out of a 6.5. It takes cone area to get low end and there's only so much air a 6.5 can pump out. A single 10" would suffice. Everything you linked came out to a little over 400. You can do better with that.
Here is what i would get.
1. Phoenix gold rsd65cs. BEST bang for buck comp set on the market for the past 4 years. They're dozens of reviews online. http://www.woofersetc.com/p-6952-rsd...er-system.aspx
2. Aurasound rpm plus 10". Not many reviews online for this sub. I saw it on diyma in the hot deals section a couple weeks ago and snagged it since it was cheap. I haven't tried it out ported, but i tried it out sealed and it does a hell of job for a $70 dollar sub. It should sound even better ported. Sealed should be fine in your situation. https://www.madisound.com/store/prod...oducts_id=8999
3. Crescendo audio 1000c4. This amp is a damn power house. It'll give you 125 x 2 for your front stage and 500 x 1 for the sub. http://www.crescendoaudio.com/produc...roductid=17516

I agree that quality is more important than quantity with speakers. But let me ask you this: Do you have people in the back seat much, and if so, do you keep music on? If not then focus on the front and a subwoofer. No reason to need a big subwoofer. Don't get one of those "simple" solutions like basslink or one of those stupid Bazooka bass tubes. You can get like a single 10" in a smallish box that does an awesome job and doesn't take much room.
If you don't want that then stiffen your rear deck and install a couple of Peerless SLS 8"s and amp them.
And do not use 6x9s. At all.

Uh, SLS is considered a woofer (not a "midwoofer"/"midbass"; they are not useful for 2-way speakers) but is basically a junior subwoofer. They work quite well that way. It is not the solution that I recommend, anyway. Also, it would be infinite baffle, not free air. Free air = nothing blocking the air from just moving from one side of the speaker to the other.

You could mate any speaker with a full range, so that's cheating... But full ranges are bad choices for cars as they are all limited in Xmax/Vd and/or power handling - much more so than more traditional narrower band drivers.

alright so I like that MB quart amp above....and i like the idea I can power a pair of components and a sub from it.....People are never in the back seat so I do not need those..
I think a 10" sub now is a good idea....I would LOVE to have one of the fiberglass boxes that hides in the corner (any idea where to get thats not insanly expensive)
so I like that amp and its price is great.....so since im saving money on the rears and 6x9's ....what 6.5" component speakers would u recommend UP to 200...id prefer around 150$$ and whats a good 10" sub......
thanks alot.

Yes, the ID's are that much better. Better midbass, smoother tweet, louder.
That site is legit. I ordered a couple amps from them and the transactions went smooth.

A slight jump above your budget, but it's worth it. It's a dual 4 ohm, so it has to be wired to 8 ohms where the amp will give you 250w
As for the box, it needs .66 cubic feet sealed or 1 cube ported. I'd opt for ported since box size would still be small and you get the added efficiency.
