What Do U Think: Components/AMP

NEED YOUR ADIVCE: I am looking to get some components and an amp to power the components. I already have an Alpine-7965 head unit and Polk 6x9s in the rear. I have a 2k1 civic lx coupe

I am looking to spend no more than $250 on the component and no more than $150 on the amp.

I WANT BASS FOR MY MIDS! I dont plan on ever getting a sub, so i need some components that are able to provide some extra bass. I listen primarily to hip hop-rap.

Here are some of the components i am considering:
1) Infinty Ref 6000cs
2) Infinty Kappa 60.5cs
3) Kicker Rs6
4) MB Quart PSD216
5) Focal Polyglass or Polykevlar
6) Alpine Type R

Which of these have the best mid -low bass? Any other suggestions under $250? Please let me know.

AMPS- I need an amp to power these components. I was looking to spend less than $150 and probably a 2channel.

Here are some amps i am considering:
1) Fosgate Punch 201 s - 50w x 2
2) Bazooka EL 260 - 70W X 2
3) Fosgate Punch 150s - 75w x 2
4) Kenwood KAC 6201 - 60W X 2
5) Profile Clarus CL 640 - 75W X 4

I dont want to skimp on the amp. Which of these would you recoomend? Any other suggestions? Do i need more than 75w x 2 for the amp? 2ohm or 4? Thanks for your advice!!!

the type r's i have no real experience with

that fosgate 150s i think is a sub amp... meaning it wont be any sound quality and a waste of those focals.
of all those i would probably go with the kenwood, but if it was me, i would get a us acoustics amp from crutchfield (yes crutchfield)... us acoustics is really good regardless of how cheap they are. also, even if it does crap out, you get a 3 year warranty from them if you buy from crutchfield. i think its like 130 or something for a 80x2 amp.

I have 2 sets of Alpine Type R's in my car and they have silly midbass. I have been told by several people that I could compete SQ with just the components because they produce so much bass.
