System suggestions

I have a 1957 Chevy truck that I've restored and I'm finally to the point where I can put a system in it. Last time I seriously messed with car audio was when in dash CD players first came out for the aftermarket.

I've already purchased a head unit (JBL Marine Audio) mainly for the reason that I can put the remote in the glove box and put the rest of it under the seat.

I would like to go with 6" front speakers and 6X9 rear with a four channel amp. Rear speakers will go in boxes behind the seat and the 6" will go on the kick panels but, I am kind of limited on room for the front.

I'm mainly looking for clean sound.

Specific questions I have are:

-Recommendations on speakers (size and brand). Should I go with two way speakers or separate mids and tweeters. Also, for the size, I am limited on space but, don't want to sacrifice too much and have crappy sound. I've had good luck with Polk Audio in the past but, that was several years ago.

-Amplifier recommendation. I've considered the Alpine PDX series but, wondering if I should try to keep the system matched between amp and speakers. Never worried about this in the past but...Lastly, looks aren't the most important but, I would prefer something that is bland looking on the outside, even though it is under the seat.

Here are the pictures of the head unit I chose as well as pictures of the interior so that you see what I have to work with.

Thanks
