Default little bit of help with audio setup

hi all ive been thinking about upgrading my audio setup so this is the stuff im thinking about

Head unit:http://alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=37
sub amp:http://alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=71
speaker amp:http://alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=79
sub:http://alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=102
fronts:http://alpine.com.au/showItem.php?item_id=83 (or the 5.25" ones if these are too big)
rears: not to sure what i should be running for the rear speakers? components same as fronts?

the fronts and rears should be 4x100wrms @ 4ohms. the amp is 4x100wrms @ 4 ohms. i assume this should be a pretty good match.
sub is 1000wrms @ 4ohms and sub amp is 1000wrms @ 4ohms

this is what i THINK it would be...

the head unit has three pre amp outputs. should be using two and run crossovers for both? i.e the 1st one will be highs and mids for front+rear speakers and tweeters, and 2nd one will be for lows for the sub. i am quite confident with doing the power wiring, but the audio stuff not so much. am i running the amps the right way? do i even need crossovers before the amps?

no need for the crossovers before the amps

the mono-block should have built in crossovers and a high-pass filter/subsonic philter. so no need there.

before the 4 ch amp you could add an equalizer but that is not necessary either.

the rear speakers do not have a separate tweeter so if you want one your gonna have to add one

your system is gonna bump. rears are optional and is just filler. fronts are what u only need for the ideal soundstage, but seeing how u got money to blow go for itt
