help needed for new install

Hey guys
ive got questions hope you have answers, im looknig to get a full car audio system
First things first lets start from the front, i need good speakers, not too much bass but enough base and more treble, y i dont wtn much bass in the speakers its cuz my subs can drive the bass right.
the suggestions i got were
infinity power series, alpine type x, fosgate power t1 or t2, and MB quarts
can you help me with this liek which type would be good for nice treble, and a bit of bass just incase i watn to turn off the subs for a while. can you give me models and watts each speaker would run, also i dont knwo much but i knwo one set shoudl be components the other set is speakers.
now in the trunk
Im planning on placing either the audioban awis12p, type x, or fosgate T2.
doyou think the awis12p would heat up fast adn blow? and whts the difference between dvc and qvc?
amp wise i have my mind set on jbl gto series 2 1201.1 for the subs and one 75.4 for the speakers. pls let meknow if its not good. so let me knwo guys thanks

1.i would recommend a set of internals such as the kenwood KFC-X1700P and rear speakers of your choice that handle at least 80rms. Hook up a decent 4ch amp along with a indash eq to control mids,highs and interal bass.. some eq's offer the ablility to switch your subs on or off.

2.The audiobahn awis12p is a good sub..i rather go with the type x. I seen it sell cheaper and perform better than the audiobahn. The t2 is a little to pricey.

3. QVC subwoofers offer more wiring options than DVC subwoofers when selecting an amplifier

4.the jbl gto series 2 1201.1 is a perfect amp for your choice of subwoofers .

thanks for your help,
but where can i find the typex for a desecnt price. right now a retailer is telling me 300$CAN a piece for the awis12p, and for the type X he is saying 450$,
for the speakers, kenwood does that give good treble?

dude, I don't mean to put down any of the suggestions above. If it were me, I would go with the Alpine Type R components & Alpine type R 2 way for the rear. Check out one of the sponsors on this site ( Audio), amazing price on the Type R set. He also has the Type X subs. My recommendations would be USAmps, SoundStream, Fosgate, JBL or Kicker. Get a Hardcore amp to run the subs.

Hmmm, I should hear these Kenwood out sometime then. Word of warning though, speakers will sound different to how they sound in a show room. Each car application will be different in sound as each car has a different mounting structure.

Straight up the Kenwood speakers sound amazing and are cheaper than Alpine. I have installed many of these components in cars and they always impress me.
