car stereo advice please!?

i want to upgrade my sound system. i have picked out the speakers i just don't know what amps and how to do them. i am going one of 2 ways. 2~ 5.25 front door speakers (Kenwood 28 watt rms/140 peak watt) with a pair of Kicker 6x9's in rear deck lid (70 watt rms/140 peak) and a single subwoofer (10" or 12" or Bazooka nos bottle6" - 8") or the same setup with additional 6.5" mids in the rear doors and a pair of subs vs a single sub. i know i need as much power to the subs as the rest of my system. i know i can go mono on a single sub. or stereo for a pair. i really like the Bazooka NOS-6 or NOS-8 the lookalike nos bottle with a single sub would be fine for the music i listen too (hard rock and metal) plus i am making a show car & Sunday drag stripper(Aurora V8) not really a boom box. i need advice on amps. i am going with 4 ohm door speakers & 6x9's for sure. i presume the subs will have to match. i'm confused with all the options, bridged, multiple channels, tri-way crossovers etc.

rgcaraudio 		Well first of all i wouldn't buy any kenwood at all... you can get way better quality out of same priced speakers.. (pioneer.. alpine..polk..focal). get splits for a much clearer sound at the front. You should buy a Mono amplifier for your sub (1 x 400RMS 12inch sub will be plenty of bass specially for rock/metal) And you should buy a 4 chan. amplifier for your front and back speakers.

rgcaraudio 		well if you pretty much know what speakers you want then get them but yes you can get better speakers than kenwood as far as the amp a 400 watts 4 channel amp shood be good enough for your speakers and as far as the subs two 12" or two 10" will be good it all depends if your worrying about space or not and if your building a show car i think you kind of want to stand out more than the rest so if you get 12" you could flush the trunk and make it look like a custom trunk and so make it look more like a show cars trunk but its up to you i would go for a pair of 12" kickers solo barics with a good amp the amp need to be compatible with your subs for example: if you have one 8" sub that is 300watts 150 rms you need a amp that is 300 or 400 watts 150 rms you need an amp that runs the minimum rms as the subs can handle this goes with any sub and amp combination a sub that is 1000 peak /500 rms you need a amp that is around the same power handling (1000peak /500rms) good luck hope this was helpful
