Speaker info for dummies

Shawshanks

I'm getting a 2005 4runner and want to upgrade the sound system in there. i'm aware of what brands are good (somewhat) and what to stay away from. currently in my 89' honda civic, i've got a kenwood deck and amp w/ mb quarts components and coaxs, love the mb's but also like the polks... in the new 4runner, i'm planning on running an alpine deck and amps and use polk momo speakers all around. i am more into clarity w/ a little thump but nothing that will rattle the neighbors windows. so i'm thinking about getting coax 6.5's in the doors and running something small like a 8" sub in a ported box (may consider a 10"). so questions: would that be a good start? if the 6.5's say that their power handling is 80w contin at 4ohms, will a 4 channel amp at 75w x 4 @ 4 ohms be good enough? the alpine deck says that it has 50w x 4 power, should i use the deck power or not and just get a 4 channel amp? again, i need simple and basic answers. i was reading a couple of the questions and responses, although very helpful and full of knowledge, some of it just went past my head.

i know i've got other questions and will probably think of them later, but at least this gets me started.

thanks in advance, i want to join the polk/momo family.

Shawshanks, on the main page, scroll down to the "On the move" section, you'll find car audio threads there. This section is home audio related.
