P.P.I. does make some nice components but the tweeters for me just are not bright enough, look on ebay for the price you want to spend you can get a nice set of Boston sl60's or if your lucky a good set of the german made mb quart pce 216's Both way better then the PPI's.

Also ADS and the HCCA orions are very nice with a good solid mid-bass driver.

The alpine amp you have is a great choice for the price amazing, just remember you are buying S.Q. quality components so you want to get an amp that will provide clean signal at 4ohms. Comp's at 2 ohms just sound awful.

Anyway just some friendly advice and good luck.

Sound Stream is known for better clearity and alpine well it's alpine. Note the "Tri-guard amplifier protection" this is power surge and thermal overload protection that the alpine will not offer also most alpine do not use dual or tri-mode (2 Ohms front speaker and 4 Ohms rear speaker = dual mode) the SoundStream you picked hands down is better than the alpine. for these two reasons.

P.S.
I learned that Alpine does not do dual mode the hard way :-(
