So are you saying I should get a cheap amp to power the speakers mike?
Or should I just buy a 5 channel amp to power everything??

Components hard to install?? I heard it is cause you have to drill and all this crap...
But still I don't know if I should get all coaxial speakers and power them on a amp and then get a better amp for my sub or just get a 5 channel and hook it all to that

I have 1000+ right now... That all isn't going to the system
But I just want to have a system that sounds clear but then again will BUMP when I turn it up...
I don't want crap...so I won't go for the cheapest bet because spending the extra cash in a long run will be better off...
So that leaves me back into looking at what speakers to get for the front and rear, and amp or amps if I need 2

Wow - with that kind of cash, you could spend $200-400 on a good amp and have more than enough power for your RF P1. I have 15" P1'* and although all RF'* are good, these are the cheapest of the RF'* and require the least amount of power. I think mine were rated at about 150 watts RMS and I run about 75 and they sound pretty darn good until it gets crazy loud and they start to run out of power. Remember that most amps are rated at 2ohms, but your P1'* are 4ohms, which cuts the wattage rating by almost half for most amps.
Given the new $$ figures, I would recommend Kappa or Kappa Perfect components for your front doors. Don't worry about buying a seperate crossover for Infinity components - they can handle the low frequencies. Let someone else do the install if you are intimidated by it. You could end up doing more damage than good if you don't know what you are doing. If you run your system crazy loud, get a front amp. If you just want to be loud enough to do damage, let Pioneer provide the power and save your money for new seals in your trunk so you don't look like a dumb-*** when your trunk starts vibrating.
More speaker advice from my experience:
Stay away from Kenwoods unless you have a crossover to eliminate all but the highest frequencies.
Stay away from JBL unless you get a good amp that can provide the kind of power they need to sound good.
