ok first off im planning on getting new speakers sometime soon and i think im going 2 get a pair of hifonics 6x9's and then the 6.5 components(also hifonics). well i plan on amping them later down the road and just so i kno wut amps 2 b looking at can someone tell me if the rms that are in the specs of speakers are rated for the pair or each speaker. i probly lost whoever is reading this with that but for example those 6x9's im considering are rated at 110 watts rms.Does that mean each speaker has a 110 watt rms or the 2 combined are rated for that?...................and the second question: ive been checking out the kenwood KDC-138 headunit because its cheap and i dont really care about a bunch of frills and what not like any other 16 year old i knowposted_image(yea im only 16 posted_image). It has 1 pair of RCA's (switchable rear/sub). would i be able to run an amp for my mids and highs and the amp for my subs off of the rear pre-out or do i need to look at a deck with more RCA's?

The 110 watt RMS is for each speaker.

You could use the 1 RCA but you would not be able to use the fade on your deck. There will be no difference between what the front speakers play and what the rear speakers play. You would need two Y-adapters though to split the RCA for a 4 channel amp or two 2-channel amps.
