[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8729639, member: 614752"] Planet Audio is a very low quality brand and every piece of equipment you listed is lying about power output/handling which is a bad start coming out the gate. Cheapest thing I see at a glance for a reliable 5 channel amp is about 350$ but there may be some sales somewhere or a better option. I'd say you should be looking for 50x4 + 300X1 rating which is adequate and will likely mean you have a product that isn't trying to lie to you. Ditto with speakers. There's not a set of coaxials out there that'll really withstand 200W and I'd avoid any company who would claim otherwise on general principal. That said 50-70w honestly rated coaxials would do fine for you and Alpine, Kicker, JBL/Infinity, and other trustworthy brands should all have comparable entry level offerings for you. A high end 5 or 6 channel amp would have switch to internally sum signal from only one RCA pair in but you're probably going to run Y splitters up by the amp. Keep RCA away from any power cables is good practice, speaker level outputs shouldn't matter but normally I'd do power and speaker stuff down along whichever side the battery is on and RCA in the center or up high if possible.
