Well i got a pair of Kickers DS60 Coaxials for the rear.
Kicker KS6.2 components for the front
and a Clarion AP450 Amp to push em.

Right now just working on a lil budget. Overall do you think it'll sound pretty good?

The bass is covered by a 15" Kicker L7 in the trunk.

Sounds good, the only thing that might concern me is that the bass may overpower the music.

lol alot of people are telling me the same, bout the 15 overpowering it, but eh, guess we'll have to see, oh and yea i did source a pretty basic amp to push em, that Clarion i posted in the original post. 50x4rms should be good enough i guess.

50X4 should be plenty. Don't worry about overpowering the highs. You can always make adjustments to even things out. I have found it is always to have a bit more than you need. You can't ever run out that way.
