Amping your speakers over just using the headunit outputs will definitely give you an increase in both overall loudness and sound quality. Normally you would just amp the fronts because that&#039;s where you are sitting most of the time and therefore is where you should focus your sound. For the back you typically leave the stocks in and just run it off of headunit power but you bought some speakers for the back (which isn&#039;t a bad thing). Since you bought speakers for the back as well it would be a waste not to amp them, so I suggest looking for a 4 channel that would fit your needs. 5 Channel amps are good if you&#039;re tight on space or are planning on running a low powered setup. However most people prefer separate amp setups because if you want to beef up the sub stage you don&#039;t need to replace the 5 channel, just the mono amp for your subs.2. Comps usually come with crossovers when you order them. Coaxials about 99.9% of the time have a built in crossover that will split up the sound between the mid and the tweeter.3. Not quite sure what amp you&#039;re referring to. Subwoofer channels on amps are typically mono because the frequencies that a sub plays aren&#039;t directional, so to speak. In a space as tight as a car, it&#039;s not necessary to have a stereo setup for your sub stage.</blockquote>
