HelP me pick my audio system

Im planning on putting a full sound system in my 2010 screw by mid January. I need some input for door speakers and a 4 channel amp

This is what I have so far that I removed from my old vehicle
It's a JL audio class D monoblock 1200watt amp

I plan on buying this dual 12" subwoofer box (unless someone can convince me I can get better deeper bass from 2 10"s
http://www.supercrewsound.com/09f150screwdual.html

The mounting depth is 5" so I need some help finding some great sounding subs that work. Also would like to hear some options for door speakers to replace the stock ones and a 4ch amp to replace them. Tweeter optionS?

These p3's are the best sub I could find for the money.

Would they work fine with that amp?

Would this amp be good for running door speakers

I'm running into the same issue. I'm just going to start off with subs and an amp in my 2012 super crew. I started off considering the P3's but didn't have very good luck with their HE2's back in the day. I really want to do the 2 JL Audio Shallow mounts, but I just hate the thought of paying that price for those. I'm bouncing back and forth between those, 2 JL audio W3's and Polk MM1040's.

The Alpine shallow subs are more expensive but they are much better than most other shallow subs out there imo.

The JL 13tw5 shallow subs are good too but the lowest price you will find them on ebay is about $550.

it's the JL 13 shallow mount. there are 2 dealers in my location that sell them, but they're selling them for $600+. I've found them for $450 on Amazon, but you don't get the warranty and I'm a bit skeptical of buying something that expensive online. I would love to try out some of the other subs that numerous people have mentioned on here, but no one in my area sells them. It's all Kicker, pioneer, RF, JL and Memphis.

I love Rockford Amps. That's one thing that I've always had really good luck with. this one stereo place is pushing for me to get RF p3's, but from what i'm hearing and reading online, they aren't even in the same category as the JL Audio shallow mount, Alpine or the Stereo Integrity's(which aren't available of course) I listen to a lot of different music and i'm worried the JL's won't be able to keep up with fast bass. I like a deep bass that you can feel inside as opposed to the ghetto boom sound. My brother had polk in his dodge megacab and it was the lower grade ones. Not the MM series, and they sounded very good. There's just too many options and i've been reading and doing my research for weeks now!!

I really like Polk Subwoofers. My brother had 4 polk audio 10's in his Dodge megacab and they sounded great, and they were the cheaper ones. the only thing that concerns me is the XMAS on those. I haven't talked to anyone yet, but i'm worried that they'd be hitting the floor in a a downfire box. If I choose them, i'll probably go with the 1040's.

Looking at the specs on those subs both the mounting depths and the xmax, it looks like you need around 1.5ish-2" minimum between the box and the floor. 5/8" of just basket thickness, then at least probably another 1/2" for the surround. And then it has a peak to peak linear xmax of 1" whether your ever hit it, I don't know, but that's another 1/2" or so.

Whether you go with the 10's or 12's won't really make a difference in how much space you need between the box and floor.
