I need help understanding this car audio?
Im looking a buying new speakers for my 98 gmc sonoma. Currently I have already bought a new pioneer head unit. Its a 4 chanel and run 14RMS per chanel with a max of 50. Next I went on to buy a pair of PIONEER 3 way 4×6 speakers to replace the factory speakers in the dash. The speakers say the operate at 35RMS with a max of 150 watts. I’m extremely new to car audio and need help understanding how it all works. The next thing I would like to do is replace the door speakers which are 6 1/2 round speakers. I would like to know what brand is the best to provide a good amount of base and what type of power rating i should look for. Im looking at a pair of alpines that say thoperatete at 80 RMS with a max of 240. Would my head unit be able to power these or would I bunder poweringng them? My future plans when I can save the money are to buy an amp and 1 sub to put behind the seat. Im looking forecommendationsns for those to if you have any.

What is it you want to know how works with those speakers?
as for the door speakers, if you want to put in a sub anytime soon, your sub will make up for any lack of bass in the speakers. I have a 03 sonoma (props on sonoma) and have pioneers with little to no bass but great mids and highs. the 2 12" kickers in the back make up for it for the lack of bass.
If it’ll be a while before you get your sub, I’d say go with kickers, I’m a big believer in their bass abilities both in subs and speakers. but i think your talking about the Alpine SPS-600 and those are great speakers too. as for power, the more power, the louder your speakers, just make sure they mesh with your HU amp.
for the sub, i love kickers, many don’t but I have had three sets with kicker and they’ve all been great. Alpine also makes great subs and you can never go wrong with rockford fosgate. RF is a great company. The question for subs is also how loud do you want? just to add bass to your system or get the neighbors awake in the morning.
