I do see one problem with your setup. The Alpine iDA-X300 only has one 2v preout. With only one preout and using a 5 channel amp, you will be splitting that signal several times and drastically reducing your output, along with loosing your fade or subwoofer volume control. You would be way better off with at least the iDA-X200 or iDA-X100. They have 3 preouts for front, rear, and subwoofer.
