Default thoughts about this system

I currently have an alpine 9856 head unit, powering alpine type s speakers in the front doors, and stock speakers in back. I also have a single alpine type e 12 inch sub in the trunk. I have considered getting a 4 channel amp to power the front alpine speakers, as well as a pair of the elemental designs eu-700s subs in the 6.5 holes in the sail panel. If i do this i will also replace the smaller speakers in the rear hatch area with infinity 4x6s and have them running off the deck. What do you guys think of this idea, or do you have any better suggestions?

Edit: actually now i am leaning towards getting the kicker ss series 6.5 inch mid bass speakers. i can get them for cheaper, and ive read the amp would still power them pretty well

I personally run 3 sets of kicker ss components. I don't use any of the 4" speakers since I really can't hear them over the rear components.

yes

5.25s are in kick panels, 6.5s in the door and 6.5s in the sail, not the rear deck.
