If you just want loud, your plan would work fine. Personally, I would go with as few drivers as possible. Two in the kick panels with subs behind the seat and call it a day. If you decide to upgrade go with a set of components in the kicks. Reason being is that with multiple high-frequency drivers at different install positions, you will run into phase issues and comb-filtering. Kinda like setting up front-fills ten feet in front of the stacks in a live sound setup and not using delay. As always, YMMV.

I know man and thank you. But I'm open to ideas and I have thought about component speakers. But I'm not just going for loud, I want a system that can get loud, but with a regular cab that's not too hard. But most of all I want it to sound really good. I have a buddy that is a car audio specialist that I'm going to have help me design it and once we get a final design, install it. So I'm sure quite a few of your suggestions will once again arise.
But I'm just trying to make something that will not only sound good in my truck, but that will also add to the aesthetics of it through a clean, technological appeal that still fits into that classic but custom ideal. And I thank all of you for your suggestions, especially since I'm just tossing around ideas. The design isn't set into stone and I don't have much experience with car audio besides the system in my '94 Blazer which is also Clarion. I just wanted to toss around ideas with you guys and show ya'll what I've pulled together so far.
