Help my Audio system!

Okay, so i'm going to buy Alpine 9833 and it comes with built in cross overs. But my infinity kappa 60.5 also comes with cross overs. Should I use my head unit or the ones that comes with the kappa?

Also, What amp should i get for the kappa? I'm thinking of the Alpine MRV-T320 but it only has 80 watts while kappa is rated 110 RMS. I'm so confuse with all these stuff. Been trying to find a good audio system and setup for a while, getting fustrated. Please help.

My planned audio setup. tell me if it need changes.

Head Unit: Alpine 9833
Speakers: Infinity Kappa 60.5 components
Amp: Alpine MRV-T320
Sub: Not neccessary?

P.S.
Should i change my rear speakers 6x9 to Infinity 3 way speakers? If so, i should get a 4 channel amp instead?

I know this is a lot guys, but i figure you guys can help since i know there's a lot of expert out there. I greatly appreciate your feedbacks and constructive comments.

tgctruly is an unknown quantity at this point
I just build up my car audio system almost the same as what you have, here is the list
alpine cda9831 hu
infinity kappa 60.5cs
alpine mrv-f340 amp
I use whatever that match with alpine, well i go with kappa because I see they got better reputation than alpine type Rs tho. The sound quality? one word, "cleaness"!!!
the alpine amp is 55x4 but notice, those watts on amp measures diff than speaker/hu watts. with the amp my gain only set 1/3 for front, 1/4 for rear not running too high and it's enuff for my ears. why don't u get mrv340? they are v12 amp which is pretty good by what other people say and the amp/hu definitely match, if you want picture of installation from begin-end let me know I will show you since I just got them installed in last 2 weeks with help from megahurtz and buddies here^^

tgctruly,

How much did you spend on your sound system? Give me a break down on the prices of head unit, amp, speakers etc so I know how much to buy them for =) I didn't want to get a 4 channel amp since I don't think it is necessary to power the rear speakers. But if it is, let me know i'm new at this stuff.

9831 hu about-280$ include shipping from ebay
kappa 60.5cs speaker-$150 from ebay
alpine mrv-f340 amp-$250 from hisonic online order
I have calc them out once it's around 750$ with all the materials including the amp kit/tool everything~ I once heard that alpine don't cover warranty with hu buying from ebay, fortunately my work well~
