Default Monsoon amp just for rear filler?

I think I just had a brilliant idea, either that or it's just old age.

I'm in the process of researching new components for my '02 Firehawk convertible. Here's what I'm thinking so far...

Kicker KX700.5 amp
CDT CL-61 comps for the front doors (bridged 150 watts x 2 @ 4 ohms)
10" sub ??brand/model?? in passenger side stealthbox
(200 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms OR 400 watts x 1 @ 2 ohms)
CDT CL-6x coax rear filler ****instead of powering these with my Pioneer DEH-P86DHR HU at "22 watts per channel into 4 ohms," would It be possible to power them with the stock Monsoon amp to get better performance? The Kicker amp only puts out 40 watts RMS x 4 if I don't bridge it. Is this a great idea, or should I sit down and shut up?

Thanks for your opinions.

Use the deck power and eliminate the monsoon amp, the deck power is almost the same as the monsoon amp and probably cleaner... Better off removing the Monsoon from the loop.

Yeah, I agree with RL. I like the idea though...

For your 10" sub ideas take a look at the alpine type r's and kicker comp vr's.
