For alpines it looks like my only options are these http://www.woofersetc.com/p5242/SPR6...t-Speakers.htm and these http://www.woofersetc.com/p5243/SPR1...t-Speakers.htm. Will those be ok for the amp i linked too?

that is a perfect setup. all 4 speakers will be powered evenly and at their maximum rating, and not a bad deal for all of it

alright, for a sub would it be better to get a 2ohm dvc or a 4ohm svc. Since the amp will put out 200w x2 at 2ohm and 400w bridged at 4ohms

well most of the subs im looking at that are 4ohm are DVC not SVC. What is the difference between 2 and 4 ohm subs? What would be the difference between a 4ohm SVC and a 2ohm DVC? They would both be getting 400w either way.

Ohms are a measure of resistance, but you have to take into account that you can bridge a single dual voice coil sub and not a single voice coil. how many subs are you wanting?

you want to look at a sub that can handle at least 400 watts because overpowering is bad under powering is ok
