Thread: Multiple amps and some new components - any comments or suggestions before I dig in?

Hey everyone.

I was just reading through some threads about multiple amps and things like that. I have two amps that I'm not currently using and I've been wanting to get rid of the stupid crackle that I get when at high volumes with my stock speakers.

My current items are:
Local brand 600 watt 4 channel with crossovers built in
Profile California 600 watt 2 channel with simple crossover for low-frequency built in
Rockford Fosgate Punch 75HD (oldschool ) 2 channel amp (would probably be used for rear speakers or not at all)
Alpine 9825 Deck with 3 pre-amp outs (front, rear, subs)
2 Kicker Freeair 10's in a ported box
2 Pioneer 100 watts RMS 6.5's in the rear
2 Stock front 6.5's in the doors (front)

My car is a 98 cavalier coupe.

I do realize I'm not dealing with the most up-to-date or best stuff here. I can't complain, a lot of it was given to me. I'm a poor high school senior . However, I want to do with this, what I can. I was thinking that buying some nice components for the front and leaving the rear pioneer's in but at a low fade, just for extra background sound. I may not even need the rear speakers, I realize it is all in preference.

I would power the front components with the 4 channel amp and also power the rear speakers with the 4 channel, if I used them.
I would power my subs with the Profile amp that I have.

My main concerns are the following:
1. Will my car's stock electrical system be able to handle the draw of the two 600 watt amps?
2. Will I get the light dims when my subs thump like I do with my head unit's built in amp, or is this just the head unit's lack of decent amp and if I use the 4 channel to power the speakers, will this cut down on the fading of my headlights, dome light, etc?
3. Should I use a distro. block for the two 600 watt amps and mount them both on my sub box? (Could be pointless to mount the 4 channel in the rear if I am only going to be using it for the front speakers)
4. Should I just use the RF Punch75HD I have for the front speakers? (This is only 27.5, I believe, RMS. However, this amp was one of the clearest, so my father said before he gave it to me, amps he has used - even with it being low power.
5. Any recomendations for a setup?
6. Do I even use the 4 channel to power the speakers or just stick with my head unit's 17.5 (I think) RMS output? After all, I have 3 sets of pre-amps and the amps just sitting there, waiting to be used - why not use them?
7. I listen to Hip-Hop, Rap and some Rock here and there - can anyone reccomend a certain brand or model of components to use for the front? (I do know that this is all personal favor, but I have not even began to look around for them yet - just taking reccomendations)

Yes, I know there are many, many, many threads on this and I have looked through a very high number of them. I just figured I'd type of a thread with my personal details in it, as to maybe get better advice and ideas.

I thank you for reading and any advice or constructive criticism you shall provide for me. Also, I apologize for any spelling and/or grammar errors you may have read.

If there is any more information you may need/want or have any questions for me in order to produce decent advice/suggestions, please just ask!
