a 97 Camaro huh? I'm guessing you have very little trunk space, so keep that in mind. Here's what I'd do:
1 JL W7 10 inch. Get a nice amp that does about 600-700 watts @ 2 ohms mono and a capacitor (1 farad will do) and some better interior speakers to top it off nice. http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/w7.html
As far as head units I'm really fond of Alpine. I've also had Eclipse, Clarion and Rockford Fosgate. Definitely go with something that has at least 4V Pre-amp outputs, subwoofer control is also nice.

I have a Jimmy, the only things running in there are Rockford and Kicker.
I have a P8002 Rockford 2 channel amp rated at 250rms watts per chan.
Two 10" HE2 Rockford subs. unsure of the rms (10" cuz the bass sounds better when it keeps up to the song).
A T4004 4 channel amp rated at 85rms watts per chan.
I have four 6" speakers 1 in each door, they are the Kicker KS60 rated at 65rms watts each and two 4x6" Kicker KS46 speakers 30rms watts each.
Might not be competition, but sure sounds good in a 4 door SUV
No point in spending a fortune in something thats out-dated 2 years later.

Personally, id get Infinity 5x7 in the front and rear, and then get yourself a decent sub and box. Power the Infinit from a decent Amp, an dpower the Sub from a Bridged 2 way amp.

interior speakers sound much better with an amp hooked up to them. Nothing huge, but a good quality amp. Like 75-100x4 should be a decent one.

So would you go with components in the fron and coaxil in the rear? Or all coaxil?
I am not worried on the money of this but i do want great sounds of the highs and mids. I will worry on the sub at a later time. But as for now i dont want a sub to take up my extended cab.

The only way you are going to get a truely dynamic sound is through fitting a sub, be it a small 8" woofer somewhere, like under the front passenger seat.
The component setup is an excellent way to go, and if money is too much of an issue, get yourself a set of Polk 17cm components with tweeters and crossovers and you will be sorted. If you are going to put component in the front, id tend to put them in the back as well.
Its important that you have a decent amp to drive the speakers as well....ideally not from a headunit unless it is 50+ MOSFET RMS amplification.

My recommendation? A big f**k off one.
Preferably one that has to be powered by a pocket sized thermal nuclear device.

yeah you're gonna need a MUCH bigger car to win a sound contest. I used to know a guy who worked for Cerwin Vega (before they went out of business) and he had a chevy van with 8, yes EIGHT 18" stroker subs in it. Holy sh*t you could here him coming for at least five blocks away.

ever heard a car with 12 8" subs in it? Get enough 8's and you can move some major air. Plus they do better with higher frequency bass, which takes less power to create.

i will never own anything but an xtant amplifier again. i have a 4x100 watt xtant amp. i replaced my sony with it when i burned it up(sony is the worst car audio i've ever owned),everything else is the same.the sony was allegedly 1200 watts(600 rms)at 2 ohms and the xtant is far superior in every way.i run 2 12's and infinity separates with it and 400 watts(only 100 watts to each 12)sets off alarms all day long. i'm amazed everytime i roll down the street.i have a panasonic deck which i would not reccomend though. it's the second worst deck i've owned(next to sony). i did have jl 12's but my 2 year old put holes in them so i ran out and bought something just to get some sound until i could get some decent subs,so i bought p. miller 12's on sale for 100 dollars and i won't change them until they blow.they have out performed anything i have ever had.my preference is jl but for the price the p. millers are great.my whole system cost around 900 dollars and out performs my last system(around 1800 dollars)by leaps and bounds.i'll be pissing people off and paying noise ordinance tickets(3 already)all summer.my2cents
