You could always do horns. I would suggest ribbons too, but they usually like to be crossed over fairly high.

Yeah, I talked to an installer at work today and he said something about that but also said horns would be like incredibly impressive to get it to work in a car. I might look into maybe sticking with soft domes. Supposedly the Type X speakers are really good. Obv I got a concern because well, looking at T-X sets, well, man that is costly. I might just try the G2 ribbons maybe, kinda worried about stability in a daily driver. I'd rather not need to pay to replace frequently. Otherwise I might just stick with maybe something similar to Type-Rs... Or a comparable soft dome.

Once you install ribbons correctly, they shouldn't have to be replaced, just like other tweets.

My concern is how fragile are they? I mean a decent bump gonna hurt them or anything?

Shouldn't if you have mounted firmly where they don't vibrate all over the damn place.

Ok so...

Highs: (2) Arum Cantus G2si  Ribbon Tweeter ($99.99/each)

Mids: (2) Adire Extremis 6.8 Midwoofer ($99.99/each)
Low: Undecided

High Amp: Undecided

Mid Amp: Undecided
Low Amp: Undecided

Now Dyohn said something about kits matching the G2 with the Extremis? What's that mean? Any from here, what would be a best suggestion for a strong amp? I want something really clean.  Honestly NO clue what would do for the G2, since it is 6 ohm, and that is odd for me to figure out. (Would love help in learning how to get an idea of what would be good.) As for the Extremis, I was told before it depends on the enclosure. I'm assuming the enclosure is going to be sealed. I mean this ultimately will be determined by the positioning. Any suggestions? Kick panel space is fairly limited but I guess possible. Essentially, I've got the components picked out, what next?

What I meant is that companies like Raw Acoustics and Exodus Audio are doing home speaker DIY kits using these (and other) drivers.  This means they can sell you the speakers with a pre-designed and tested crossover, which is actually the hardest part of matching any speakers together to form a system.  For car mounting, you wouldn't need to build a cabinet.  Mounting Extremis woofers in kick panels would be a great idea.

How great would the kicks be? I mean I am highly concerned about the lack of foot space down there. :/ If that is significantly helpful, I'll look it over and see if I can properly design a kick for it. How much air space would I be needing for a sealed enclosure?

Recommended sealed enclosure for a single Extremis is 9.5 litres (0.33 cuft.)  You can mount them IB in your doors if you want and they should work fine (as long as you have the mounting depth.)  They really only need around 50 watts.  As far as the tweeters, you will need a properly designed passive crossover which will take their impedance into consideration, unless you plan to go active.  Then just use Ohm's Law to calculate the effective output of your amp channels into their load.  Most tweeters require less than 20 watts.

The Belle amp you have in your sig line would be a fine amplifier for this setup, and you'd have your sub channel too.  Realize if you bi-amp with active crossovers, your 4-channels will be needed for the front set, but you probably won't need or want rear speakers with this system so it shouldn't matter.
