Personally I have never built a system for any car of mine that had a seperate amp just for the mid-range speakers. If you are looking for a system that will wake your neighbors and make everybody around you who ISN'T into systems think you are silly or a jerk... I have no advice.
If you want a system that sounds good you will probably end up spending $200 bucks on a good head unit alone... If you get a decent head unit and speakers for the doors and a decent brand and power amp properly matched with a single 12" sub in the trunk (and take the time to insulate everything properly) you will have an excellent sounding system that you can be proud of for not too much money. If you want to go cheap as possible you are going to turn that 88 taurus into a rattle box. Frankly I laugh at cars that go by me on the road with subs that are either rattling the license plate and sound like crap, or are literally rattling the car appart because it wasn't done right. You want performance for less than 200 bucks? Buy a giant boom box for your back seat and a power inverter :silly:
The cheap-o components you showed in the links are crap, and a waste of money. If you don't recognize the brand its not worth your money (with exceptions on some of the high-end, cash-money stuff).

since i dont have the money to get everything right now i think ill go with some door good door speakers and a amp to power them
:iagree:
Seriously, for $200 its not even really worth it. I hate to say that, but $200 will not get you much, especially if you do not even yet have a head unit and do not know what an RCA cable is.
Cheap stuff is poor quality, both in how its made and how it sounds.
In that case you could go with these speakers:

And then bridge this amplifier to run the speakers:

But, remember you are going to want to add about $25 or so for an amplifier wiring kit and some RCA's.
Best Buy did that with Alpine so it wouldn't surprise me. They were made with cheaper components and cheaper boards. I have 2 different grade alpine amps...1 from an actual stereo shop and 1 from best buy. I took them apart to see if the claim was true and they do indeed look cheaper. They have smaller transistors and heat sinks and the PCBs look like card board on the cheap one.
Those speakers don't look bad... but why bother with that amp? If its only going to put out 50w per speaker why not just use the built in amp in your average 200w head unit. Same output, and probably won't sound much different if you get a decent unit.
