Stay clear of 3-way speakers. Way too bright when a simple two way will suffice and give a much smoother response.
Everything should work well together, don't worry too much about mix matching speakers when they are that far apart. And, honestly, don't use dash speakers at all if you don't have to. Put more money into the door speakers, maybe an amp for the highs. Dash speakers draw the center image too much to the passenger it resides in front of, plus, the sound from the dash will arrive at your ears before anywhere else and blurr any chance of real stereo seperation or depth to the sound. The only horn I would ever put into a vehicle would be old school wave guides or a "wicked one" enclosure.
When testing the subs try many different locations and firing directions. A customer of mine has an older supra that we were playing around with. Believe it or not, the loudest came from firing the subs to the side. A difference between 140.1 db to 145.3 db on our term lab. So, now we are building something based on that. Also, the Ford Probe gets the highest number with the subs facing back but the enclosure pulled up about halfway just beyond where the seats fold down. he only had a 2 db gain but that's almost the same as doubling your power, for free. Great deck choice, you should be very pleased. And Diamond makes very nice stuff. The ported should do very well in the vehicle.
Peace
