Car Audio 101

So can i come to you for advice on what speakers to get and such for my Z?
I used to "get it" and lately i am just not sure anymore.

Is it smarter to buy a component system or part out the tweeter and speakers?
Does it matter if all the speakers are the same? Or is mixing and matching fine?
Are base blockers needed for tweeters?

As of this moment i want base from the front speakers and sub.The side speakers i want pure audio/vocal. So i was thinking base blockers for the side speakers. A lot of people are saying the side speakers are not even needed because of the acoustics. That i am not totally buying if you have no vocals basically coming out of the front speakers.

Can i list some speakers i am looking at for your opinion as well?
I already have a in dash installed. Its the kenwood DNX 8100 series.

thanks
