Hey Ken,
Welcome (back) to the dark side car audio. Hope you're having fun making your components list and grand system plans. I too loved all of the car audio mags back in the day: Auto Sound & Security, Car Audio, Car Stereo Review, and Car Sound. I had them all (still do)
Sounds like your trying to figure out things. What are you goals (simple/mild/complex sound system)? Are you willing construct kick panels or not? How much room can you afford to consume within the car. Budget? Time?
Answering these questions may help us/you to determine which set-up may be best. You mention a 4 way. To me, a four way consist of: tweeter, mid, mid-bass, and sub. If you plan to go this route, then kick panels may be the direction you may want to adopt. Also how many amps are you planning use? Type of processor to divide the frequencies? This may be a larger system you may not want to tackle. More power means more amps (more than one), wiring, cables, and money if your aim to do it right.
If you going a "full range" (referring a coaxial), then you may economize the existing spaces. Less need of number of speaker, amps,and processors (internal or external crossover units). This design system may include a sub woofer. This system may have the crossover included in the head unit. Do you have a model picked out?
Hope this help you with a (some what) direction.
