I think your Alpine Bass Package sounds great but I would want to use a larger size wiring kits especially in a jeep and it shouldn`t cost you alot more.Otherwise your Sony source unit sounds good too! And i say use an Alpine speaker set up in your doors as well you may be able to cut a deal with the Alpine dealer if you get all that stuff @ the same time.

if i didnt know the owners of the audio shop in town I would order from there, crutchfeild has good prices and great stuff, it sounds like a good deal..
you might also want to ask if the infinity sound system has a built in seperate amplifier, cuz that will have to be removed or thought about in the process of installation.
something you might run into with installing the speakers in the doors and back are that they might not plug into the factory wiring harness, so you might have to snip and cut a little bit, the easiest way i have seen is to snip the connecter off the speaker you take out (make sure you get the pos and neg right ) so you dont cut the factory wiring harness, which can lead to huge problems you dont want in the future, then it is also easier to quickly connect or disconnect them too. I would go to auto zone or an auto parts store and buy some reusable twist connectors and a small roll of speaker wire.
other than that, it sounds good, enjoy

Seems good to me. I am not familiar with a lot of what you are getting but do know enough to know you should have a very good sound system. I would make sure all cables are shielded cables to keep out ambient noise. I have Cherokee as well but it is 12 years old now. No I don't have a good sound system. I don't use the vehicle very often but my partner does.
