Voltage pre-out isn't a huge deal with the amplifier gains we have these days.
Possibly even sat bluetooth and hd radio ready if you want. For speakers id do components up front. With a little modification to the stock brackets I was able to fit 6" boston acoustics and im still able to put the stock speakers back in. I glued the tweeters to the stock location. And there was plenty of space on the door for the crossovers. For the rear a good set or 2 or 3 way 6x9s will do.
Save your money and stay away from 6x9's. Stay away from rear speakers entirely unless you have time correction built into your head unit.
"Fast" or "Tight" bass has nothing to do with the size of the cone, ever. If you just throw a speaker in without regard to T/s specifications then what you get is a toss up. Your mids are actually what shape the sound of your bass. Also, wire isn't as important as some people think. Your goal is to avoid corrosion, maintain as much surface contact as possible, and pay for flexible wire/cable as needed. Anything else is just snake oil marketing.I used 6.5 components in the rear with adapter plates. Only because I already had them. Amp for interiors should at least be 100a watts max per channel. Works well for me. For bass its all about preference. Fast tight bass you go with 10s for deep long lows 12s or 15s work. And a good power and ground setup. I've been pushing it using 4 gauge wire for 2400 watts in my last 2year cars and its been fine. I should upgrade to a 0. As for cost I've spent around 800 over the past 4 years. Some free stuff some used and some new. Ebay and craigslist are your friends. I've saved around a grand using craigslist and ebay. Shop around. I saved 100 on my deck brand new using ebay over crutchfield. Sonic electronix is a great site too.
First thing you want to do is decide your install locations. Then we can choose speakers that will fill that application. Once we know that much we can buy a head unit and amplifier(s).
