Default Help me decide

I already have a Rockford Fosgate CD/MP3 head unit. (RFX 9120)
SPEC: Built-In Amplifier Power 4 x 40 Watts Peak(4 x 25 Watts RMS )

I was planning on getting 5 1/4" for the doors. I have seen..
RF (FRC 4205) 2 way 80 W peak/2-40 W RMS for $49
JBL (GTO525) 2 way 135 W peak/2-45 W RMS for $49
SONY (XS-V1333) 3 way 175 W peak/45 W RMS for $58

I was also planning on 6"x9" for hatch area. I have seen...
RF (FRC 4369) 3 way 150 W peak/8-75 W RMS for $74
JBL (GTO935) 3 way 300 W peak/2-100 W RMS for $70
Sony (XS-V6943) 4 way 280 W peak/2-60 W RMS for $65

I am probably not gonna get subs, so would I need an amp to go with these speakers? How big of an amp and what brand?

What would sound the best together? I'm not a huge car audio guy, but wanna be able to hear the stereo over the 383 with the Hookers and Flowmasters.

Should I also fill up the dash spots with speakers as well? I have the original Bose in it right now, and there aren't any dash speakers, but I believe there is room for some. Should I put the Bose 4" in the dash or a set of tweeters?
****EDIT****
I just saw some 4x6 JBL (GTO6425)2 way 120W peak/2-40 W RMS for $39. Good for dash?

I was recently at a Best Buy and was playing in their sound room and liked the sound in this order..SONY<RF<JBL . Since the prices are very similar, I'm leaning towards JBL, but I need some people's opinions that actually know what they're talking about, in other words..not me :D .

Your opinion matters most. If you like the JBLs the best, go for them. I have 5 JBL amps and love them.
I'm not a big fan of Sony speakers.
Good luck :cheers:
