Like Martin said..its a single cab..A nice set of components up front like the polks, and instead of a 4 ch..a 2 ch for them,a lower$ hu,and run the rears off HU power if you want and place bass caps on those prob be a start.$200 budget is pretty slim for components,hu,and amp..Might be able to do it with $300+

Or go with HU, coax and amp and cap the rears off hu power for now

Cheaper HU..Ive got this temp in my truck till I get my other Deck checked out by Vertex, and does just fine..Be nice with either Polks,and a small 2 ch amp of 50-100 rms

Im interested in the Elemental designs.. I can spend around 400.00 on HU, Amp, comp set and whatever else. I already have a decent kit.

Is that a decent jbl set? I can spend a little bit more on the speakers if I need to. I am having a hard time finding those ms62c's. I dont need a ton of bass but I dont want it to feel like its lacking.

Also, whats something cheap that I can throw in the rear for now? Or should I just not worry about it? The OEM ones are shot.

Should I consider sound deadener? If so whats a good budget brand these days?

New Precision Power PPI i520 4 ion Series 4 Channel Car Audio Amplifier Amp | eBay

Id spend the extra $20 on this amp to clean up the rears rather than HU power,and or have some extra power not to struggle with the front stages needs as the RF in my opinion.I actually dont like RF amps since the 90s. OCD I guess/preference

The HU/Radio, is a great choice,though you may need a wiring harness for your truck that does not come with it for like $15-25 bucks off the bay to plug and play so to speak,making it easier to wire the HU up without hacking up your existing wiring harness.Reason why I recommended Sonic Electronix,as they provide that along with a dash kit and an antenna adapter for free along with the purchase.

those JBL speakers are pretty decent,set..Though I still like the Polk DB component set much better,as Ive had both..The hertz set isnt worth the money,unless you get up into the MLKs ect.Those sound echoed to me..Infinity makes a pretty nice set of components if you want to spend a little bit more with the carbon cones.They get loud and sound clean without crackling.
