i wouldnt run 6x9s with subs. put a nice set of coax or 3ways.
but as u have it i would be buying 2 amps,
1- 4x100watt amp to run ya 4 componet speckers
2- 2x200watt to run ya 10" subs
these amps would be enuff in power as for nice sound, but go bigger if u can afford it for huge bass!!!! heheh
gene
i got two 400 watt amps one for each of my subs then a 4x100wat amp for my compentent gear

I agree with Gene. 6 x 9's are only for fill, if you have sub/s, you don't need rear speakers. Sounds much better with a decent set of 6" splits up the front and just the subs.
