Looking for advice on what system to get for Chevy Cobalt.

Good afternoon, first off thank you all for the add to the forum! I have a '06 Chevy Cobalt with a (mostly) stock sound system that I've been looking to spice up. I've done some changes in the past with adding a eBay carplay deck and junkyard Kenwood speakers in the back, but since the deck crapped out on me I'm wanting to upgrade. I've collected some bits, which includes: a dual 12in MTX Terminator sub setup with a 250w amp, and of course the aforementioned Kenwoods (I believe they are KFC-6966S 6x9s?). I decided to try and stick with Kenwood since they've served me well in the past, so for front speakers I found a set of KFC-1796PS on Amazon, as well as a Kenwood DPX-505BT double din deck. I'm not looking for anything crazy, just something with a little more boom that still sounds clear. Does this sound like a decent setup or is there anything y'all would change? I don't want to spend more than roughly 150 for a deck, and I'd really rather not have another Carplay deck. I've added links to what I have and what I've been looking into. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I like the Kenwood speakers. Personally, I would have gone with Kenwood subs and a separate amp, If I was sticking to the Kenwood brand. However, that's a personal decision.
