Setup recommendations for new GTI?

Hi,

I just bought a brand new 2006 GTI (this car is amazing!). Stock is 3 way comps in the front (6 1/2" woofer, 4" mid, and 1" tweeters??) and 2 way comps in the rear (they may be 5 1/4 or 6 1/2, the manual doesnt say).

Equipment I currently have leftover from my old car:

Alpine 40 x 4 amp

Kicker 65 x 2 amp

Kappa Sub 10"

Kappa 6 1/2 full range speakers

My feeling is: Buy a nice pair of 2 way comps for the front and either leave the stock comps in the back or replace them w/ my full range kappas. Then bridge the alpine to 80 x 2 for the front and run the rears off the HU. And, of course, bridge the kicker amp to 130 x 1 for the sub. I would like to keep the stock HU.

Or should I just get 3 way comps? 3 way comps seem really pricey but my car is already fitted for them from the factory. Can anyone recommend anything or do you think what I have in mind is a good idea? I am open to maybe selling the amps and getting another, but would like to avoid that if at all possible.

Thanks alot for any input,

Aaron
