    Help me setup a good car audio system

    Hi All,

    Please help me setup a good car audio system.

     I own a Pioneer DEH-P6850MP CD player. The specs. are as below:

    Audio Features
    MOSFET 50 Watts x 4 high power
    EEQ (Easy Equalizer) 
    7-Band Graphic EQ within EQ
    5 Preset + 2 Custom EQ Mode 
    Bass and Treble Tone Controls 
    Selectable 3-Mode Loudness Control
    LPF Subwoofer Crossover (50, 80, 125Hz @ -12dB/oct.)
    Normal/Reverse Subwoofer Phase Selection
    Direct Sub Drive (from headunit power)
    HPF (High Pass Filter 50, 80, 125Hz @ -12dB/oct.)
    Electronic Volume / Balance / Fader controls
    4 Volts RCA Preout Level
    3 prs RCA Preout (Front + Rear + Sub/Non-Fading)
    SLA (Source Level Adjuster)  

    And I do have a old SONY EXPLOD XM-502Z amp. The specs. are as below:

    2-Channel
    MOSFET Power Supply
    50W x 2 continuous power
    80Hz low-pass filter
    100 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms
    Active Protection Circuit
    RCA and Speaker Level Inputs
    Gold Plated Terminals

    Making use of the above mentioned player + amp, I want to build a system. I want to add the following:

    1) Rockford Fosgate PL2-110 Subwoofer 

    2) Rockford Fosgate Punch P300-1 mono amp. to power the PL2-110

    3) Front door component speakers (5 1/4"): component S50

    4) Rear tray (6'X9'): Polk/MOMO MMC690

     

    Now my questions are:

    a) Whether this setup works fine? 

    b) Is it okay if I don't use an amp. to power front  and rear speakers?

    c) Can i use my old XM-502Z amp. instead of buying a new Punch P300-1 mono amp. to power the PL2-110 ? Are there any compromises in using a 2-channel stereo amp. (sony XM-502Z) in bridged mode to provide 100 RMS to power the PL2-110?.

    and finally,

    d) Do you suggest any better setup using my existing Pioneer  DEH-P6850MP  player and SONY XM-502Z amp.?

     

    Thanks in advance,

    aaRDee
