looking for some advice, new to mids and highs

ok, i have only ran 6x8's and 6x9's off the deck. what im looking to do is do 2 mids and highs in each front door. im either gonna go with a t26.5 component set per front door or 2 punch pro 6"'s or 8"'s and 2 punch pro tweets per door. im just not sure what amp(s) to get and the wiring on it.

everything is gonna go into a 2003 ford focus hatchback and all the mids and highs in the front doors. there is plenty of room i just gotta get some spare door panels to glass seeing how it will be a first for me.

if i go with the punch pro's then i was thinking 2 t400.2 one for the mids and one for the highs. get 4 4ohm punch pro 6's or 8's maybe one of each and wire them at 2ohm to each cannel. the 400.2 is rated to do 200x2 @ 2ohm so each mid would be seeing about 100watts each. then get 4 4 8ohm tweets and wire them to 4ohm per channel on the other t400.2 wich is rated at 120x2 @ 4ohms so each tweet would be seeing about 60 watts.

if i go with the t2 6.5 components but i would have no idea how to wire them or exactly what amp to get. i have never dealt with components and crossovers so im just not sure.

oh and im getting a pioneer deh80prs for my new h/u wich has a dual 16 band eq time adjustment and a ton of other features to. the sub setup will be 4 12s running off about 5k rms in a wall. im just trying to figure out the mids and highs before i start buying stuff. trying to keep the cost down, im buying most of the stuff from a local shop here, i shop there a lot so they're nice to me on prices. some stuff i have talked them down to less the crutchfield and sonicelectronics.

well, i will most likely build the doors to house 2 8s and 2 tweets and put a cap in the holes for the second mids and tweet so that i dont have to rebuild the doors in order to upgrade. unless you guys are positve it will be loud enough with just 2 punch pro 8s and 2 punch pro tweets.

so how about 2 4ohm 8s and 2 4 ohms tweets. with a pair of mid and tweet per front channel wired at 2ohms. amp would be a t400.4 but then that amp is only rated at 400watts. 154 at 2ohms so each tweet and mid would be seing about 75 watts a peice. the tweets are rated for 50rms and 8s for 100rms. i know the 8s would be fine but what about the tweets? think they would be able to handle the extra 25 over rms?

ok, well i decided i want the punch pro's. will most likely do 2 mids and 1 tweet per door and then a tweet in each a piller. just gotta figure out wither i should get a 4channel amp for the tweets and a 4channel for the mids or a 4channel per door.

was thinking about a 4 channel for the mids and a 4 channel for the tweets. 4 4ohm 8's wired at 2ohms so they would be seeing about 100watts each and then 4 8ohm tweets wired at 4ohms for about 60 watts each. then for the mids i should the amp be set for all pass or high pass. i know for sure the tweets have to be set for high pass. i will habe a pioneer deh-80prs by the time i get these so i will have some decent-good control over the eq.

ok, i think i figured out what i will do. get 2 t400.2, 4 4ohm prunch pro 6s, 4 8 ohm punch pro tweets.

wire the mids to a 2ohm load so they would bee seing about 100 each and i wouldnt have to run wires from each channel to the mid ( amps are going in the far back ) this way so i would use less wire which would save a few dollars.

then wire the tweets to a 4ohm load so that they will be seing about 60 watts each and once agian i would save on wire here.
