I just picked up a Sony Mobile ES CDX-C910 off ebay and I'm looking to build a fairly inexpensive system around it. I was planning on getting Infinity Kappa 6x9s for the rear and kappa 6.5s for the front (they'd fit w/homemade brackets right?) so I'll be looking for an amp mostly, but I'm open to new speaker suggestions as well.

Should I get a 2 channel amp or a 4 channel? 2 channels seem to be cheaper but you lose the F-R fade and flexibility, so I'm guessing 4 channel is a better option. If I figure about 150 a pair for speakers and will have about 500 total to do a system that leaves 200 for an amp (ignoring wiring, misc stuff for the time being).

What amp (new + used are both ok by me) would you recommend for ~200-250 range, mostly biased towards sound quality?

Also are the Infinitys a good speaker for the money or are there better options out there? again biased towards SQ here too.

Thanks (a lot) in advance. most of the people I know who are into car audio are all into "mad phat bazzzzz man" , so hopefully I get some better advice here.
