RSD65CS, RSD6 and a Tundra CM

A few Q's, so I get it right the first time! I have an '08 Tundra Crew Max and after reading reviews, decided to go with the RSD65CS up front. I was thinking of running the RSD6 2-ways in the rear and running all of them off an affordable, but quality 4-ch amp.

Questions... Will the RSD6s in the rear keep up with the component fronts? I haven't read any reviews on the 2-ways. What amp would you guys suggest? I was thinking a 50Wx4 RMS amp, not necessarily PG. Also, do you guys suggest doing anything extra for better sound in the Tundra, such as speaker baffles or a specific wiring setup? Any tips before I buy everything would be much appreciated!

the rear coaxs actually will be louder becasue they dont have a passive crossover sucking up ~25% of the power.

the componet set will sound much cleaner and detailed, but need more power to do it. when you set your fader, you will probibly find yourself fading toward the front by a decent amount

i really do like baffles for speakers too. it helps separate the front and back waves which lets you hear much more midbass.

Thanks for the input! As long as there's enough mounting depth in the doors, it sounds like the baffles will be a good addition. Good to hear the speakers will work well together. Any suggestion on an amp? I'm going to get a good name brand, but not sure what to go with power-wise. Looks like the components peak at 120W (60wRMS) and the 2-ways at 200W (50wRMS). I've had good experiences with HiFonics amps in the past, but I want one that will work well with these.

anything with a good crossover should be fine.

this is a pretty damn good deal:
