Suggestions on system please!

Hey guys so i think ive decided on my system but i wanted to get some suggestions and comments from some guys that know a lot more than i do about the audio game lol. most of the stuff i found was cheapest on amazon.com

Heres what i plan:

Headunit:
Pioneer AVH-P3200- about $320 shipped

Speakers:
Front-Phoenix Gold RSD6.5CS Components $90(ive heard good thinks about these comps on here for the price)
Read- Polk DB571 $70 (also heard good things on here)

Sub-woofer:
Exile XT10 shallow mount $150

Box:
ill prob have the shop build me the box depending on the price. preferably a down firing box made of 3/4 MDF.

Amp:
this is where i have my main question. Should i get 2 amps? (one for the speakers and one for the sub) or should i get a powerful amp and run the front comp and the sub of that amp and just run the rear speakers off the HU? Any good amps in mind? there are a lot of pyle amps for real cheap on amazon. pls list suggestions for amps.

I was also going to add sound deadening to my doors myself because its cheaper and have the shop do the back wall when they mount the amps back there.

Should i have the shop make speaker baffles for the front comps?

The main reason i have so many questions and stuff is because i'm not that knowledgeable in car audio installation so i just want some input. Ill prob be taking my truck in to get it all installed at a shop after i buy everything because i know i can get everything cheaper online. If anybody knows and real good shops in either Miami,Fl (where i live) or in Orlando,Fl (i go to UCF) please let me know. THANKS A TON GUYS!!!!

Id go 2 amps for upgradeability later.

But car audio there are so many options, you have to do what you can with what you have.

I do have a 200w 4 channel that i can let go cheap. PM if interested.

For the amps, id recommend the Alpine MRP-M500 for the subs and the MRP-F300 for your door speakers.

I know a couple guys in florida at a best buy that do some stellar work...let me find out tomorrow exactly where they are at. If you want, PM me your info and i can pass it along to them, or i can get their contact number for you.

exactly what sundevil said, alpine mrp-m500 and f300. AWESOME amps.
i saw you said it was the "cheapest" stuff you could find.
honestly dont go for cheapest and get it now because you can. wait and save a little more money and get something thats worth the money and you wont be dissapointed with.
i know alot of people that get cheap stuff because of thier urge to get it asap and then are upset with the quality
