how should i wire up my system?

heres what i've got to work with
--sony cd 40x4 head unit w/10disc changer in driver side trunk compartment.
--kicker 800.4--100watts rmsx4
--green kappa plates 4x6 dash
--green kappa 6x9 three ways in sail panels
--new cmmd kappas 6 1/2 components in reson8tor kick panels

extra parts---
i also have a electronic crossover laying around(there is a crossover built inti the kicker amp).a sony 40x4 rms (4051)amp.two 2 channel 40x2 rms soney amps.a very small kenwood amp a small sony amp that will fit under my dash.and a alpine3541 that i have no idea what it puts out.

the kicker will either be put where the spare tire is or need to be cut into the back seat because if it's size. and i dont want to mount anything in the trunk space so we all know that space is limited.

right now i'm thinking of using the kicker for the 6x9's and the kick panel components and using the small sony guessing 20watts rms to power the plates thus saving all the wiring needed to move the anp to the back of the car.

anyone have any thoughts? just looking for a good sounding system.

I would use the kicker for the 6x9's and kicks and not the the dash speakers at all. IMO it just dosent sound good.

yea i was thinking of that also,but since they are already there i thought maybe they would add a little filler sound?i do know that the stock grilles cover some of the speaker area and have been looking for cloth grilles to see if they inhance the sound.guess i can always try it both ways not like i dont already have the parts
thanks
for the tip
