i dont really understand what you are asking, but i would have one 2 channel amp for a pair of subs, and a 4 channel for your speakers. i think thats what you were asking

thanks derekstanggt for correcting me. i dont know anything about the car audio thing, im trying to learn. i want to run a pair of componets for the front, coax. for the rear, and 2-10's. for the 10's ive been told either the alpine type r or jl10w3v2. as far as the componets are concerned, i am clueless.

CDT CL-61 is a really good set of 150 dollar components.

I suggest a 4 channel for the front and rear like a us accoustics and a jbl bp600.1 for the subs you could get both of these for around 300 total on ebay.

i dont really know how much bass you want, but two 10" W3s will kick HARD. a friend of mine has a 12" W3 (which basically sounds the same except his can hit lower frequencies) w/ an otherwise stock system and when he cranks it, i cant even hear the highs, just the bass. Alpine doesnt really have a good reputation for subs IMO, just decks/head units. if you do run W3s, make sure you have enough/not too many watts running into them. here is a graph from JL Audio to let you know exactly how many watts you need.

http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/RP_Chart.html

it looks like you need at least 80 watts RMS (continual, not peak) per sub, and no more than about 300 watts RMS.

if you have any more questions, feel free to ask
