system help..need suggestions for a noob

[Nickg 10+ year member]

I have a few questions that i hope i can get some answers too. I currently have two 12" JL Audio w1v2's powered by a lightning audio s2.300.2 in a sealed box. I have a set of Eclipse sp5700 point source speakers in the front, and se8375 in the rear...my questions are..

1. Should i purchase a new amplifier for the subwoofers and use the s2.300.2 to power the coaxials al the way around...or look for a solid four channel instead?

2. Any amplifier suggestions?

3. For a entry level set up how does this seem overall?

Thanks i appreciate your time.

With what your working with this is what I suggest. Buy a new amp for your subs and use your current amp to power the fronts. Power the rears with your deck if you must.

well i was thinking about the total mobile audio 250 watt monoblock..i believe its called the t250.1...but that leaves the subs slightly under what they are rated for...i wouldnt mind going a little larger like lets say 200 to each sub...but i want balance not too much bass..what do you suggest? i dont neccesarily care about keeping things jl or any of that..i just want quality at a fair price...out of curiousity what are the benefits are powering just my front 2 speakers instead of all 4? thanks i appreciate it.

the double post is because of the topic of my post. it is about speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, as well as overall opinion. Double post was neccesary to hopefully get answers.
