[QUOTE="Kai Winters, post: 8464940, member: 574994"] To answer your question regarding "all" the speakers you want to install I'd use the Pioneer amp you currently have for the front speakers. You will have tons of power to push them...you don't mention what the front speakers are and that info would be very helpful...if they are factory you will overpower them and probably wind up with a lot of noise rather than quality sound at anything over low volume. Next would be to buy a 5 channel amp, and the proper wiring, etc., to power the two pair of speakers in the rear. The fifth channel is for the sub...if you are going to use as many subs as you "dream" out loud about you are going to need a dedicated sub amp. You will fill your vehicle with "sound", whether it will be any good or not is up in the air but my opinion is at anything over low volume levels, even with the best tuning you can achieve, you are going to have a lot of loud sound...no real sound stage and as has been mentioned imaging is going to be very poor at best. Why do you want to do this? What are you hoping to achieve? Other than lots and lots of noise? If I was in your shoes I use the Pioneer amp to power the front speakers...I'd replace the front speakers with a pair of quality component speakers. I'd then buy a sub amp and use it to power whatever I wanted for bass...you could easily power a pair of 12's or 10's in the trunk. You'd have a great sound stage and imaging while providing all the power and sound you could probably handle while being able to tune the system so you would feel like sitting in an auditorium listening to the performers...You generally don't find bands, etc. all around the auditorium...separation, imaging and a great sound stage are more important...to me...than just filling the air space with sound.
