Default Help choosing amp(s) for new C5 system

I already have the following:

Alpine CDA-9857
Alpine KCE-422i iPod cable
Infinity Kappa 50.7cs (5 1/4 components for front)
No rear speakers
JL Audio Stealthbox with 10W3v2-D2 Sub
Humount lighted Z06 flush mount kit

Need:
Harness cable - Metra 70-1858 (any other suggestions, comments)
Antenna adaptor - Metra 40-GM21 (any other suggestions, comments)
Amp(s) - have been looking at JL Audio, Elemental Design, and Alpine (looking to spend less than $500

Also, can anyone tell me the part number for the two cargo latches I need to order for my Z06 to install the Stealthbox.

My suggestion..

Elemental Designs NINe.2x for the sub

Elemental Designs NINe.2 for the fronts..

Cost will be $400 shipped for both through the group buy link for eD

I ahve a NINe.2x I am going to use for my comps.. I was going to get a 2 and 2x but got a great deal on the 2x and then could not sell my Orion HCCAs.. so I will have a 3 amp system

I went with the Alpine PDX-4.150 to power my focal from components and the JL Stealthbox.
