get another kicker amp rated at 50 watts RMS x 4 channels @ 4 ohms.
the 1200.1 is for subs only. it's a class D amp so it can't play anything above about 200Hz.
you really do need a separate amp for those 4x6s.
I'd also recommend skipping the separate tweeters unless they come with the 4x6s and their own crossovers. Just get good 4x6 plates instead like the Infinity Kappas for the front, and 4x6 coaxials for the rear.

go to www.kicker.com and find one with those specs.
I don't keep up with all the companies' models every year.. they change too often and I'm getting too old. heh

feel old. been doing this for 15 years now, and after three organ transplants, you'd feel old, too. :P
anyway infinity's kappa and kappa perfect series compos are very good speakers. fairly priced and well made. they tend to be aggressive and bright though, bt many people like that. Personally I prefer a more laid back, smoother speaker like DynAudio or Rainbow, but they come at a steeper price. Some people find the Dyns to be too "flat" because they're used to a brighter tweeter.. but I don't overaccentuate the treble so they work great for me.
I used kappa perfects in one of my jeeps and they were terrific.

yeah those 4x6 plates are the best 4x6s I've heard, personally.
hard to find any that sound good but those do.. especially on an amplifier
