Im doubting the 350w and 600w are r.m.s so if you give speaker name and model #'s it would help alot...What kind of sub and what kind of box is it in...Have you already bought an amp kit(wires)...?

You need two amps ideally. The sub amp will be a mono amp designed to operate at 2 ohms (or 1). The other amp will be used to power the other 4 speakers. What vehicle is this going into and where are all the 4 Boss speakers going to mount. What cd player is going to be used? Post as much information as possible and not the least possible.
