Due to money restraints, I have to upgrade in stages.
1) Upgrade fronts to Infinity Kappa 63.9i's. I prefer not to go components for simplicity. Keeping factory Head Unit as I don't want my vehicle to look like the stereo is upgraded.
2) Pick up Kicker CompVT 6.5" Subwoofers as replacement for rear speakers.
Now the part I am needing help is on the amplifier. I can't decide on one or even a few. I am looking at the following options:
a) 4 x 100w RMS @ 4 Ohm (100w for rear subwoofers and I assume 120w for front speakers since they are 2 ohm)
b) 1 x 300w RMS @ 2 ohm (150w/Sub) or 2 x 150w RMS @ 4 ohm (150w/Sub)
Power fronts off of HU.
Assuming Amp has High Level Speaker Inputs, but I am not against Speaker-RCA adapter. I am hoping to mount under driver seat but I am not set on it. I just don't want it interfering with my cargo/magic seats. By getting the speakers first, I will be able to tell if I can deal with the powr from the HU.
Thanks for any advice and sorry for the long post.

1. go with components if your running an amp. its the same install either way, and they will sound way better.
2. do not put subwoofers in your doors. they are going to sound and terrible if they are not in a sealed container.
your best bet is to get a 2 channel amp for the front doors, and get a powered sub tube for the trunk. those audiobahn tubes are great. or maybe it will fit under the back seats. they are really space conservative.
the stock headunit is really weak, and the stock speakers are actually pretty decent. i upgraded my headunit first (since i wont be running an amp to the speakers) and the difference was like day and night. they stock speakers sound great. since your running amps, theres really no reason to upgrade the headunit.
