Newbie with Sample System

Guys, I'm a newbie when it comes to car audio, but I'm trying to learn. I'm going to start saving up money here and there so I can put a system in my car in a few months. I'm not trying to have the best system out there but I want people to know that I have an aftermarket sound system in my car when I put the volume up. I was looking at the ZEB and decided to do alittle sample Pioneer system. I know I'd need to get a box and other stuff. I was wondering if you guys could answer a few questions for me. The whole thing came out to $729.93.

Pioneer Headunit DEH-P6500 219.99
Pioneer Amplifer GM-X972 125x2 @ 4ohm 380 wt RMS $124.99
Pioneer Amplifer GM-X574 50x4 @ 4ohm 240 wts RMS $174.99
Pioneer 10" subwoofer TS-W254C 10" Subwoofer 250 watts RMS $39.99
Pioneer 10" subwoofer TS-W254C 10" Subwoofer 250 watts RMS $39.99
Pioneer 6"x9" 4-way Full-Range Speakers TS-A6995 $69.99
Pioneer 6.5" 3-way Full-Range Speakers TS-A1667 $59.99

1. How do you anticipate the loudness of this system would be?
1. How about Clarity?
1. Do you see any mismatch problems with the amps and the speakers? I don't really know the theory behind matching amps and speakers.
1. Do you think I'd be getting good bang for the buck with this system?

YOu need to look at much better stuff. And if you really want a good all around system and only do it once dont expect to spend less than 1500-2000 retail.

well pioneer makes decent stuff for the money, i'm running a pioneer head unit in my car, the premier model deh-p840mp... and it's great. but i don't like pioneer amps or thier subs, but thier highs are very loud and tweeters tick a lot, great for the money u pay, people will kno u have diff. high's b/c factory doesn't tick like that.... but over all, it's all decent for the money u are spending...

How can someone tell you that you should be looking at better stuff if they havent heard the stuff that you are looking at now (but thats another story). That is the EXACT system that I had in my car except I had 5 1/4 Pioneer components up front. My system was really loud but not only loud it was pretty clear. I have since updated it a bit but it was great for a beginner system.
