Truck System Help?

[SandManiac 10+ year member]

Hey, Im new here..I have been browsing for awhile now. And I need some help making some decisions. I have a 2002 Standard Cab F-150.

I already have this recevier coming. Good choice?

Ok, Well either way, Im on a pretty tight budget, This is

my first system, And just need help picking out some stuff.

Do peak watts matter? Or just RMS?

I dont need anything crazy, But was something pretty nice. Would one of these give me a good amount of bass? Would it hit pretty hard in a single cab? Or would I need 2? Or is this sub not a good choice?

Now about the amp, I was thinking this.. But wasn't sure, About the watts, Do I only need to pay attention to the RMS..Or do they total watts matter? If the total watts do..Then just one Type-S is 900 watts, So If I ran 2..This amp wouldn't work well?

On the componet speakers, I pretty much think I have it decided.Unless Of couse its not a good choice. And would I need a amp for these too? How would it sound just running off the deck?

Total watts don't matter.

That amplifier could probably run those two speakers alright, not super-awesome-good....but alright.

You're going to want at least 2ft^3 box for those sub-woofers, Im guessing this is going behind your seat? Correct?

Everything looks decent, get an amplifier for those components though.

Thanks for the help? So everything looks good.. Well, That's cool. So, Should I get 1 of those subs or 2? Not sure what I need for a small cab, I will get some pcitures in a minute.

Yep, Going behind the seats. But, I was thinking If I get just 1 sub it would be easier to put the sub in the middle, As there back of a seat.

About the components, Those are a good choice? I wont be able to get a amp right away, So its ok to run them off the deck for a few months, right?

I will be back in a few minutes with some pictures.

Here are some pictures of my truck, And a picture to give you the idea of space behind the seats.
