this will be more then enough and sound great as long as you set your gains correctly. http://www.ikesound.com/product-product_id/3880

are the 6.5" components or coaxials? (you should go with components up front if you're investing in an amp)

Depends on how new of line of PPI amps! I don't know anything about their latest amps, but the DCX and older stuff will be hard to beat. I have a PPI DCX 1000.4 and it is a crystal clear amp with lots of potential!!

Are you putting 2 sets of components up front? If the 5.2's are going in behind you I hope one of two things, you REALLY like highs, or you have the ability to fade them a little. MB tweets that close to your head makes me worry for your hearing

PPI stuff is solid for the money, the DCX stuff was good, and the old art stuff was awesome.
