I'd get some CDT audio comps with 2 4 channel amps
1 channel tweeters, one for mids

Mogg shows is sad face in the audio section, he must be bored.
Here are the CDTs http://thezeb.com/caraudio/CDT_Audio_Components.html
Here are the amps http://www.avionixxusa.com/ep/axa_4402.htm

Honestly I am a bit vague on the whole idea of seperate powering the comps tweets and mids, but I have heard from many of the higher respecte enthusiasts I talk to it is great sound stage and quality.

Any of them are good, but remember they go up in quality and volume with cost

bi-amping gives you more flexibility with the crossovers and separate powering (adjusting the gain on the tweets and mids separately), that's it. It also can't be done unless your crossovers can actually go up high enough (2-3000Hz), which the Avionixx amps cannot.

Screw the rear speakers, the Infinities, and the bi-amping. Get a single set of components, a nice 2 channel amp, and use the crossovers that come with the component set.

so what components do you recommend
will the on components be enough?
i know it is a little truck but i would really like surround sound style but if the single components will be just as good or better im happy with that

Well "surround sound" and "amazing sound quality" are pretty much opposites. If you want amazing sound quality ditch the rears, any decent component set will get loud enough to easily fill up the entire cab as long as you're feeding them some good power. Even in the back seat, my Focals get loud enough to hurt while still retaining great quality. What is your budget?

dont really have a budget yet
trying to sell my old setup to buy this new one
going to try and have 900 from my subs and amps and 325 from the two decks i got
and i can get shit for cheaper then retail too so
probally like 1500 bucks or less

i think i will just go the dvd/cd 7" widescreen source unit
and a nice set of components and an amp

I was going to say if you have 1500 then I read the dvd thing... If you had 1500 I would get the top of the line boston acoustic comps and an amp, but... you don't

using an active crossover and seperate amp channels for the mid and tweeter sounds better then the passive crossover and single amp channel with very few exceptions. Coaxial speakers are typically of lower quality than seperates.

The problem with putting rear speakers in a small interior (normal cab or 2 seater car) is that the rear speakers are often closer to you than the fronts ....... causing all kinds of problems. Furthermore, VERY little software (CD's) is encoded for anything but 2 channel stereo - making 5.1 and dolbly surround kinda pointless right now in the car.
