stereo wire setup

im trying to re do my entire audio system. I have premier head unit, Kenwood components, Polk. 6.5 rears, and im thinking of getting a U.S. acoutstics amp with 85x4 watts, and a 10-12'' JL sub. But im having trouble thinking of how to wire it. should i run everything off my amp or just the rears and sub and power the components off my head unit? I f someone could give me a pretty clear and thorough instructions on this it would be gretty appreciated. also if i do run everything off my amp how do i bridge the rear speakers and the sub. one more thing, do i need a crossover for my components or is it fine by itself? thank again.

Ok....don't power your rears. That's just a waste. If you want good filling sound, the deck can power those just fine as you want your soundstage up front anyway. The deck power would be used for rear fill. Ideally you should have 2 amps, but since you have one, 2 channels for the front and 2 for the sub (or bridged for the sub if the amp will let ya). That should be it. This is kinda the same setup I've got for my daily driver (Saturn). I'm looking to do something similar for the FD, but don't want to go crazy. Something simple and easily removable.

Good luck...
