Okay, updated my potential set up -> visited a local store today

Head unit:
Alpine INEW940

Question -> I want to have the head unit use the stock USB and AUX set up below the A/C controls -> is that possible at all? The local store said that it wouldn't be possible without voiding warranty but he hasn't worked on a 86/FRS before. What have other people's experience been?

Speakers: (would 6.5'' fit??)
ALPINE SPS610C TYPE S 6.5" COMPONENT SPEAKERS 2 WAY SPEAKERS 80W RMS SILK DOME TWEETER

At this stage, it is a difficult decision. I'm not wanting to spend (almost double the price) so much on ALPINE SPR60C TYPE R 6.5"" 2-WAY COMPONENT SPEAKERS 110W RMS but if it is really that much of a difference, I won't mind too much. I suppose what is stopping me is if I go for the Type S speakers, I can place some Type E's (4'') at the rear and use a 4 channel mono amp for the entire car. If you guys believe the rear is a bit overrated in this small car and sound stage is difficult to create/differentiate then I'm happy to leave the rears as they are (amp'd but unchanged from stock) and go with 2 channel - mono amp.

Amplifier -> have been looking at this if I'm going for rear speakers Alpine PDXV9 - 4 + 1 Channel Power Density Digital Amplifier 100W x 4 (4ohm) + 500W x 1 (2ohm) RMS Switch-mode Digital Amplification Low Resistance, High Current Speaker Terminals

But otherwise -> for 2 channel and sub would this be good? ALPINE MRX-M55 X POWER MONO BLOCK AMPLIFIER 1 X 550W RMS 2 OHM 1 X 350W RMS 4 OHM

Subwoofer:
SWS-10D2 (10'' Alpine Type S) -> not sure if that's going to suffice, not TOO heavy on bass.
