Default Im thinking of putting this into my truck..help me out

ok guys so i want to upgrade the system in my truck..

1993 Ford F150 Regular Cab..

I would like to get as much input as possible of those who know more than i do when it comes to sound systems

For highs i want to run

Infinity Kappas..6x8
(http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/p...=US&Region=USA)

Infinity Reference 6000c..6 1/2 (http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1086000...ures_and_specs)

and i want to power it with a fosgate amp.
R300-4 Prime 300 Watt 4-Channel
(http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...n_US&p_status=)

are these speakers going to work with the amp??


also for my lows..

2 Kicker 12" CVT (shallow mounts)
(http://www.kicker.com/comp_vt)

powered by the amp i have now

Fosgate P550.2
(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

So please help me out..let me know if its a good set up..plus im working on a budget like most so this is what i can afford...let me know if its going to work or not

Thanks

I second no shallows.

And I've got to say no way to a class AB sub amp. I'd use it for your highs (don't use rear speakers)

If you set up and power your front speakers corectly u won't need rear especially in a single cab I have a 95 scab with a component setup and I don't use my rears and nobody knows. Also I will recommend two sundown sa8 subs build an aeroport box for them face the subs up and the port to the side, as long as u don't make it too tall it fits and is loud as sh$t don't blow me off because I recommend 8s either I will put the pair in my girlfriends car against any kicker just make sure you power them well with about 800 to 1000rms

so what u guys are saying is that...with the front Infinity speakers is more than enough for the truck? i wouldn't need to use my rear speakers?

also..those 8's look like they kick *****..i checked them up on youtube...the thing is that with the price of one of those i can get 2 12'' kickers...another thing is that im on a really tight budget..and cant afford a bigger amp than the one i already have to power the subs...

so the fosgate p550.2 is what i have to power the subs...

thats y im thinking of 2 12'' kicker CVT 2ohm...

that way i can push 275Wats RMS from the amp to each kicker...is that how it would work??

i checked the amp out and its best to work the amp at 2ohm..says fosgate.com...thats y im getting the kickers 2ohm..

sorry but im not the best with this sorta stuff..
