I can't give you any specifics as far as components - I've been out of the audio scene for over 20 years now. There are several people on this site

Unless you need special wiring connectors, you can buy raw wire in spools and do the wiring yourself. This can save a lot of money. For tweeters and mid-range speakers, I used 16-14 gauge zip-cord. Cheap, easy to find, and has good insulation. But that was years ago and somebody may have a better alternative.

I've been reading a lot about choosing the right amp. Currently looking at 4 channel amps. I've seen people going through 3 pairs of speakers for not using the right gauge and connectors. I will be chatting with the Crutchfield reps to guide me through it since I purchased the speakers and tweeters from them

I've usually had the most success when matching brands. Keeping it all the same manufacturer while sticking to the proper specifications for my application and needs. Boss is ok. I had one years ago in my Eclipse before I got an Alpine monoblock. Amp is very underpowered.

I wish I could do the same. But haven't found a really good JBL tweeters for the dash corners and sub. After a long chat with one of the reps. They recommended me to get the Kicker 46CXA3604T amp and the required wire kit, connectors etc.
