first issue i ran into is your car has 4 inch speakers in the front. you can go ahead and keep this size but if you are handy and have some power tools i'd modify the door for 6.5 inch speaker mounting.
let me know what you want to do because 5 inch speakers are damn near a waste of time and the cost to performance ratio sucks.

its just a bit of metal trimming to get a 6.5 to fit int he slot and drilling some new holes for the screws. it's not a big deal if you have done any sort of craftwork before.
for $500 you'll pretty much be stuck there unless you want to upgrade the alternator.
give me a few mins and ill throw up links for stuff.

you'll get screwed if you try to buy at a brick and mortar store in canada. import fees are much cheaper than buying the inflated price tags. been through this a number of times with canadian users.
you can always spend more but thats not really worth doing considering you are stuck with low power stuff until you upgrade the alternator. this setup should be fine for you though.

put in car info for free installation stuff

you'll run this in bridged mode. when you get everything setup let me know and i'll tell you what you should set the adjustment knobs to.

1 of these

if the carpet is black there is a black carpet model you can get instead of this gray one.

2 sets of these. each order is a set of 2.

now if/when you get a better alternator you can get a more powerful sub and amplify those rockford speakers.
you may also consider buying a roll of speaker wire and running new wires for the speakers.
http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=TCA12C-100
100 foot of speaker wire
if you do order the speaker wire then don't get that installbay wiring kit. get the knukonceptz kit isntead.

yep that will work without an alternator upgrade.
you should also consider doing a big 3 upgrade for your electrical system to help regulate power flow.
http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~73496~PN~1
essentially you'll just be replacing 3 small gauge factory wires with new larger gauge ones so you don't bottleneck the power.
http://www.knukonceptz.com/productMaster.cfm?category=Power Wire
either the kca or the kandy(not kolossus) 1/0 gauge wire and some ring terminals. go take a look at the lengths of these wires in your car and order a couple more feet than you think you'll need.
