I want to have a system design for mid-bass components, and sub woofer.  But the amp choice for components and rear deck speakers I am not sure of.  I do not know if I should go with 4 channel for 2 channel for speaker set up.  Please help with decision here is what  I have in my 96 Honda Accord LX now. (JVC KD-L300 HU, 6.5 Front 6x9 JBL, US Amp not sure of  what wattage is it was in vehicle when I bought car. I think 160@2ohms by 2 channel.)  Future plans PMW-16 Power Acoustik pre-amp, Hopefully replace with Audio Control 3.1 in dash!2 or 3 Amp System Design? -- posted image. , components unknown,  CrossFire CFA602,  AudioBahn AW151T 15".  Thanks for ya'll help. Can't wait to read your thoughts.

What is a 6.5 Front 6x9?

How about taking your time and restating your questions.  You need to make it clearer for the most, and best, responses.  And do your homework on that amplifier so you and everybody else will know what it is.  Forum Rules and Guidelines will show you what you need to include in your post.  Include proper punctuation, as well as you can.  Periods at the end of sentences are a must.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

alright yea agreed with others kinda hard to figure out what your going for with your post. but i had a 96 honda accord 2 door. Components in that car are a must because if not your going to have your fronts fighting to be heard over your rears. Some companys to look at are JL Audio, Boston Acoustics, Focal and Alpine (just to name a few). All of which make great products no matter what price range your looking for. 2nd. Stay away from Internet! yea so what mothumpincaraudio.com has X brand sub for alot less then what your going to pay for it in town but if you ever have a question or ever need to have it serviced GOOD LUCK and you better be ready to wait because then you have to have it shipped to them then they work on it and then send it back to you...and thats if you have the packing material from when they first sent it to you...if not thats another $20, and more time to wait for it to come back.  Just look around town for a shop that carries product (such as stated above) that you can play with and listen to and then let your ears go from there. GOOD LUCK!! and stay away from audiobahn...if you want your stuff to last

Apologize for not being clear with my question.  Should I go with 2 amplifiers or 3 amplifiers for my system design when I add midbass component set?  My current system is JVC KD-L300 Head unit, Power Acoustik PMW-16 pre-amp, (Fronts) 6-1/2" GTO627, and (Rears) 6x9 GTO926.  The amps I have are US Amps USA-50 50rmsx2@2ohms and  Crossfire CFA602 600x1@4ohms.  The subwoofer is a Audiobahn 15" AW151T.   Thank you for your comments.

You should add another stereo amp if  you intend to add dedicated midbass drivers.  There just aren't enough channels for all those drivers.  Actually, you should use the 2-channel US Amp to power the midbass and buy a 4 channel amp for the fronts and rears.  Thanks for correcting that into a well-written post.

Thanks stevedart for your advice. Next question is should I put the midbass woofers in the front door panel and remove 6-1/2's fronts totally?  Also should I wire 4 channel amp to front tweeters and 6x9's?  The midbass would be wired to the US Amp which you recommend.

why not keep the US Amp on the rear speakers & source a new amp for the front, soemthing in the neighborhood of 75-100wpc. And instead of adding midbasses, just go with a quality 3-way component set for the front. Something like the Focals or DLS, or whatever your ears like.
Having a 3-way will give you a better midbass capacity & you can build some small, unobtrusive kicks for the mid & tweeter while the larger driver lives in the door.
IMO just adding outboard midbasses will cause all kinds of install & tuning problems, not to mention X-over issues.

Thanks boulderguy for your info I will consider the idea.  Last question is the 15" Audiobahn that bad?  It's rated at 650rms 4ohms and I plan on putting it in a sealed box.  The amp is 600x@4ohms that will be pushing it.  I would like the invest in the Adire Shiva 12's when I get some more money.  They are highly talked about on the forums.
