Ok guys i thought i'd post my plans to see if anyone had any tips or suggestions on what i should do, got a few questions too.
Here is my current setup
2 x 75 watt 4" in dash connected to HU(50 watt per ch,4 ch) - running midrange/treble
2 x 120 watt 6x9 connected to an indash amp(100 watt per ch, 2 ch) - running midrange/treble
2 x 300 watt 7x10 in parcel shelf connected to amp(200 watt per ch, 2 ch) - Running half bass half mid
600 watt 12" subwoofer to same amp as above(400 watt bridged,1 ch) - running all bass
The 2 above run off an 800 watt 4 channel amp.

Heres the setup i PLAN to have :-
Same as above
Another 800 watt 4 ch amp
Add 4 x 6" 200 watt(they come with individual tweeters and crossovers(i think thats what they're called))
With the 7x10 i'm going to run them like subs, i have already half arsed tested them and they sound pretty good, only 1 problem, the parcel shelf shakes a little, so i was wondering, if i put both 7x10's in the boot, will they sound alright? i can fix the shaking a little(tighten a few screws) but it wont dissappear completely. Now with the 6" i plan on putting 1 in each front door and 2 in the parcel shelf(either in the old 7x10 hole or use raisers). the 6" speakers fit nicely in with the amp, but i'm not exactly sure about the tweeters. I plan on putting 2 up the top of the windscreen on the roof, and ii'm unsure about the 2nd pair. Should the 2nd pair be on my front doors up near the top OR mount them in the back, maybe at the top of the rear window on the roof?
Another question, will spacers be depth enough and strong to act as door pods? or is there a better way to get a pod affect without cutting any of the door?(drill holes i'mok with,easy to hide). Does anyone know where to get strong, pretty depthy pods or spacers and how much?
With tweeters i have an idea what to do, amp to 6" speakers then to cross over and then to tweeter? something like that, i'm sure the book will tell me. The crossover is the little square thing that comes with the speakers right?
Also someone with a TR haynes manual or whatever can you scan in how to take the whole dash out and the side plastic bits of the doors.

Hope most of this makes sense, any ideas and help would be awesome. The new setup should sound really really good.

800 watt amp brand is avalanche (fairly cheap but i've had it for the last 9 months and its done alright.)

The 6x9's are under the front seats, i'll take a photo of the setup tomorrow and post the pics tomorrow night.
