Default Upgrading audio, any sugestions???

I currently have a 2011 SCab with JL Audio component door speakers with no amp, which don't get me wrong sound a lot better than factory but still sound like crap with no amp to push them. I am looking at an Alpine MRP-F300 for the door speakers which runs 50 rms x4 at 4ohm and the speakers are rated for 75rms at 4 ohm which should be plenty shouldn't it?
I figure while I am doing this I might as well do it all and get it over with. I really want a regular Alpine type-r but its looking like I will have to do with a type-r slim. Does anyone make a single 12" box that will fit the regular type-r with a mounting depth of 6 3/8"?
Here is were I need help, what all am I going to need???? Do I have to buy something for the use of rca's?

How does that amp do? I have ran into it a few times searching but wondered how it would sound compared to a regular amp.

Look into focal speakers. Can be pricey but sound quality is great. I am running set of focal k2p 6.5" components, jl xd 200/2, jl xd 600/1, and a shallow jl w3. Sounds great. Jl is always top notch audio

this amp is awesome! i first had it on my stock speakers and it was a world of difference. now on the alpine type s's!! its just a very good amp. and its soo small that i just have it sitting behind my head unit. im also gona add a jl 500 watt amp to push a 8" jl sub. just gona use a line output converter before the alpine amp for it. i would definately recommend this amp to anyone.

I looked at a few of them, I think I am just going to go with a JL 10"w3 in a fox box seems to be a good woofer a lot of people like. Anyone have any experience with hifonics amps? Any good or just cheap power?
