got my grand prix need component help

Im picking it up Sunday and haven't been into stereo stuff in a while. I want to put in replacement speakers to start and a new head unit to start as i build a fiberglass box to jam my 3 12w6's in the trunk if they will fit. I do have the isoplate to mount them on so i could go mdf constructing but fiberglass seems easier to contour and get into that shape to fit far into the trunk so there is room for my bowling balls and golf clubs. My amps are ARC 2500cxl and a 4150cxl the 2500 i think has the internal crossover bypassed they made 6 like that for a friend of a friends low rider show car i bought it off him when he switch to something else. i want to add kick panel speakers up front to go with the door speakers 6.5s in the rear deck and maybe mid bass woofers in the side behind were the door opens. I dont know good brands anymore haven't had a system in 7-8 years just like the car and want to be loud once more before i get to old budget about 800 for components 3 sets 2 front 1 back and 100 for mid bass woofers. Are any cadence components worth anything i see lots of amps but how do the speakers sound? what would you add or put in if you had this car? $400 tops head unit 99 grand prix gt

do you buy your clothes from walmart? if you want good sound you gotta spend a little money. you want find a good comp at that price. for $250.00 you could get the new pionere's. people have been raving about them. also, scratch rear stage. get some subs and don't run any mids or highs in the rear. image dynamics is about the best at that price. their comparible to the higher end rainbows and focal.

lots of bills but just looking for best sound in that dollar range. i wish i could blow more but im not a millionaire yet and blowing that much cash on speakers will make me never be one. I know 200 or less is not going to put me in a competition but i just want to stay away from walmart crap.plain and simple if you had my car and amps and the budget i got what would you do to it to make it rock from pantera to techno but none of that 2packy stuff
