Default Hifonics?

This question is actually for a old Studebaker I'm restoring, but could just as easily be for somebody else Corvette. I have what I consider to be a Great System in my Z06 and it was around $1500.

For this stereo project I wanted to see if I could be under $700. This is what I'm thinking:
HU Pioneer P6000 $160 (direct IPOD hook up)
HiFonics 8006 5-way amp $160 (55x4 + 300x1)
Tsunami wire kit $70 (battery blocks, 4g, RCA... nice kit)
Sub Rockford Fosgate P2D412 $90 (dvc good reviews)
Sub Box $40
fronts Polk DB651 $70 (good reviews)
rear Polk DB651 $70

total $660

Usually I buy higher end stuff, but this is for a 1950 Studebaker Champion. I want it loud and fun. I don't care tremendously about the quality as long as it is clear to the layman.

Any recommendations that would be better without killing the budget. Building a car is expensive and I want to spread the wealth around.

Hifonics amps are very good quality at very reasonable prices. I'm using a Hifonics "Zeus ZXi 6406" 4 channel amp which puts out a lot of power and sounds very clean.

Your system component choices look good and will make a great sounding system.

Reasonably reliable, good bang for the buck.
