Help me with my first mids and highs

Alright, so I'm new to mids and highs and want something that'll keep up with my Zcon. I don't have a ton of money to spend on mids and highs, and yes I know you get what you pay for, so I'm basically just trying to figure out what I need to make what I'm looking at work. I'm looking at a few 6" midbass speakers and some tweeters as well.

I'm also looking at getting http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Car-Amplifiers/Rockford-Fosgate-R300-4-300-Watt-RMS-4-Channel-Amplifier-Car-Audio-Amp-R3004/R300-4.aspx to power them.

My question being, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need some crossovers to allow only certain frequencies to pass to the tweets and speakers, but since this is my first time trying anything like this I really don't know where to start. Which is why I'm fine with using cheap equipment for the time being until I learn. Any help I could get with this is much appreciated, thanks for reading :)

You'll be fine with all that as a starter kit to try out.

You could start at 3500hz as a starting point to crossover and work you way up and down the scale to find the sweet spot where they'll sound the best.

The mids look good also look into dayton audio peerless and tangbans on parts express all good cheap mids

I would not recomend those tweeters tho you will need a good eq or crossover I didn't look at the amp buut the amps crossovers might be enough to cross them over properly

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

I've heard about a lot of heating problems with those rockford amps.. i've personally used this

iit's gotten warm on me but never burning hot and it's never gone in to protect mode no matter how long i've played it.. i know you're not looking for advice on that but since it's in the same price range and it's cea compliant with more power output then why not
