I have a 2005 Access Cab and here are my plans so far...

Alpine CDA-117 is on the way, along with the KTP power pack (45W RMS)
I have a few older components that I'll be stuffing in the back, including a Phoenix Gold XS2300 amp powering a JL 12W3 in a sealed wedge box.

Not sure how the stock speakers will sound with the extra power, but I figure they probably won't last. I've had experience with Infinity reference series and was satisfied, but i'm looking for some 6.5's for the back and 6.5 components for the front... I'd like to keep them all under $200-250 total if possible (because I still need to fork out for baffles). I'm a huge JL fan, but have no idea how the TR's sound. What's good and will meet the budget? I need strong highs and mids to keep up with the big bass overkill (I already had the box from my old 4runner).
