Default Do I need two amps in the car? Wiring question also.

Ok I am kinda planning my budget sound system for now and am wondering about several things and some wiring issues.

92 Civic Hatch

I am using:

Average Pioneer MP3 deck with 2 rca outs
Average Pioneer tweeters
Average Pioneer 6.5 speakers
Boss CLR40 Amp 200*2
Pioneer (old skewl ) CM-X304 4 channel 30*4 at 4 ohms etc..
Eventually (not now) subs prolly 2 - 8's or 2 - 10's

1. Should I get a deck with 4 preouts?
2. Could I use the deck I have and use a CRA splitter? in order to use both amps.
3. Should I power the door speakers and tweeters with the Pioneer AMP or use the deck for the tweeters and amp for the speakers.
4. Forget about the rear speakers? Will never be back there anyway.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Boss Amp http://www.powerlineaudio.com/...0.htm

Pioneer Amp MUST BE A GM-X304

You don't need two amps, it all depends on what you want, you can have a 4 channel amp running to your door speakers and to your subwoofers. But i don't like this , but that's just me. I have a amp on all of my highs and a seperate amp for my 2 12"s and it sounds awesome.

Yeah but I want two amps. Sharing the one amp with subwoofers and speakers IMO is not a good idea.
