Ok thanx guys. This is what i will do...
I will leave my 300/4 and 500/1 for now. I have to replace all my speakers anyway (blew them).
I will get INFINITY Kappa 50.5cs (5 1/4 comps, 85 watts rms) for the front and INFINITY Kappa 62.5i (6.5, 75 watts rms) for the 4 rear speakers. I will power all this from the 300/4.
When I get some more money I will get a 300/2 amp to power the INFINITY Kappa 50.5cs and also add some midbass drivers to the kickpanel.
I will use the 300/4 for the rear 4 speakers (INFINITY Kappa 62.5i).
And I will either get one W7 with my existing 500/1 or upgrade to a 1000/1 and get 2 W7's.
What do you think?

still think you won't need the 300.2...
and infinity tends to make overly bright tweeters, but they sound real good, if you like them, go for it. not really sure how good the imaging is with them though, that is why i still run the quarts, a little harsh at times, but the imaging with them is top notch. i honestly feel one 10w7 will freak you out and the 500.1 is perfect for it (especially over the pair of 10w3, but enclosure is everything, spend money here, i can not stress this enough). really i would just buy the front set and 1 rear set, i really think doors and deck is too much behind you, but this is your call and money...

I ended up getting........
List of the setup.
Panasonic CQ-DF802U TOUCHSCREEN H/U
JL 300/4 Amp
JL 500/1 Amp
(2)JL 10W3s (Custom Box)
Infinity Kappa 63.5i 6.5" 3-way (rear deck)
INFINITY KAPPA 62.5i 6.5" 2-way (rear doors)
INFINITY KAPPA 50.5cs 5-1/4 comps.
X-Power 1 Farad Capacitor
4 Gauge Power Wires
12 Gauge Speaker Wire
7" In-Dash LCD
Play Station II
Yellow Top battery coming soon. Lights keep dimming
I got a really good deal for the Infinity Kappas. Gives me really good fill with the 4 speakers in back.
I would have to say that my SUBS are not as affective with this setup. I have so much fill from all the speakers that the bass does not sound as good.
I feel like I will overpower the subs. I just blew my last W3s. Now I am scared to crank it. I have it just over 1/2 gain and almost no boost.
I might trade in my W3s for W6s. With W6s i will have 600watts to a 500watts amp instead of 500 to 500. With the W6s will i be able to "crank" it more?
How much do you think i could sell this all for?
So what do you think... about everything
