Help with picking speakers and amp on a budget

[amp roach 10+ year member]

Hey folks, I've been out of the game for a while but looking to buy some new equipment for my new jeep wrangler. The stock speakers are garbage, obviously.

I have an alpine type r 12" on an Orion d1200 amp (ported box) that I've been very happy with over the years. I would like to buy new 6.5 components for the front, 6.5 coaxials for the back, and a 4 channel amp to power them.

I'd like to buy everything I need (4 speakers, amp, amp kits for subwoofer amp and speaker amp) and then pay a local installer that I trust to install it all. I'm planning on running the stock head unit if possible. Ideally I'd like to spend $500 but I'd be willing to stretch to $600 once everything is said and done.

I've initially looked at alpine type s speakers but I don't know if they are the best bang for buck. I know nothing about good budget 4 channel amps. Any input would be appreciated.

Very happy with my type s 12d4's. They get loud and low in the right box.

Lol if u think type s get loud n low. Wait until u hear a real system.

I like Polk audio components the db are nice and the MM are real nice

forget the rears, they usually just screw up the sound quality anyway

CXS64 V.2 - Image Dynamics 6.5" 4 ohm Component System

I'm not sure how discerning you are as far as sound reproduction goes, but this should be a really nice set:

B2 Audio Reference 6.1 Component Set

Pair with this amp:

SSA Store - US Acoustics Barbara Ann 4 channel amplifier

If you feel that you need rear fill later, you can always get it and coaxials aren't really expensive anyway.
