Is this a good Amp?

yes
yes
and probably,
the kenwoods have pretty good specs, while the Pioneers have lower bass and can play louder. i don't know about the amp though, it is pretty cheap (price wise). and as far as the prices on the speakers, they are really good too. and the specs match.

It's awful hard to listen to speakers over the Internet. Sometimes paying a couple bucks more to buy local is worth it.
Boss amps are over-rated crap.

I'll second Jim's opinions. Go listen to speakers for yourself. I would also personally avoid a "4-way" 6x9.

Don't use 4-way speakers... especially if your putting in subs... but if you are getting subs go w/ 2-way 6x9's cause the 4-ways and the 3-ways play more bass... and one more thing BOSS SUCKS!!!

2-way, 3-way, 22-way, whatever. It's the bass driver that determines what your bass output is and nothing else. What you put in front of that bass driver is irrelivant. In general, I tend to prefer 2 ways because most coaxial speakers are inexpensive and are designed with very cheap crossovers. The more drivers you have, the more cheap crossovers you have.
The number of drivers means nothing. The sound quality is all that matters.

Ok, so I have a sub box with 2 10in Woofs 200watts eachs. Not massive, but I'm not looking to shake the world, just have a little thump.
1. What 6x9 or 6.5 should I get?
2. Should I run my 6x9/6.5 off of the amp?
3. What amp sould I get?

1. GO LISTEN TO SOME!!!!!!!!!!! Only YOU know what sounds good to you.
2. If you're just getting them for fill, deck power will be enough. I'd spend most of my speaker budget on my front speakers where most of the sound comes from.
3. Combine my answers to #1 and #2 and come to your own conclusions.

I'm just tring to get a good Idea of what you guys think is good, I will take all aspects, and then talk to frein of mine that works at a local car audio shop to see what he thinks, so even if you just posted what you guys have in your systems I would appreciate that. Thanks

Even if you have subs in your system, I wouldn't be so quick as to write off 6x9 (or whatever speaker size/shape you choose to fill the sail panels) selection. They're not made to produce a great deal of bass anyway: 6x9's provide midrange frequencies. Without the presence of a good midrange speaker in your system, there will be a large void in your music that neither bass nor treble can fill. They don't have to be the most expensive part, but they deserve some consideration.
That said, I currently have a moderate set-up that I'm looking to upgrade as the money becomes available. I have a pair of Clarion Pro Audio 4x6's w/removable tweeter in the dash, Clarion 6x9's in the rear (all four running off a 4-chan amp), and a JL12w3 sub.

My system specs are in the sig. There are definitely better components out there, but my setup suits me just fine.
Kenwood and Pioneer make very decent 6x9's for the price (under $100). Don't know much about the 4-way speakers or the amp you just mentioned. Take the others advice though and listen for yourself.
