Default My new Components, What do you Think

So let me know what you think about my new new Amp and Speakers I am putting in my 08.
I have a Pioneer AV120 head unit in and don't currently have plans for a sub.

Cost is variable as I got a great deal on this from Dennis, at Double D Mods, not sure of exact pricing until he gets the VIBE line completley in his inventory but knowing Dennis he will be unbeatable.

Re the speakers, why 4" vs. oem 5.25 in the back?

Also, why not go with components instead of coax in front. If you're pulling the bose subs to put in 6.5's you'll need to make/buy plates anyway.

Are you using the 6.5 coax up front? If yes, why?

Are you using 4" coax out back? If yes, why not 5.25"s?

OK, really messed this up, did not look to close just copied the spec's and pasted. The speakers I am using are Vibe but not the one's listed. I have 6.5 component speakers in the front for the doors and tweets and 5.25 for the back.
I guess I was really looking for some input on the "VIBE" brand seems to be a new brand from England and I can't find much out about it. The spec's look good hope to have it all hooked up this weekend for a test run then complete the install next week.
Thanks
