Trying to build sound system So i installed a new head unit. the pioneer 6800ub. some alpine type s's in the front. and the previous owner had some walmart pioneer coaxial in the sails. so i found when i pulled the fronts that there were some kicker ks60s in there. would it be ok to put those in the sail. i know the sails are dvc subs but until i can afford to run new wires from the head unit and bypass the amp, i want some bass. not the popping im getting now. also where should i ground the new headunit? im getting a high whining now.

If you're buying a real sub then just use coaxials in the sail panels for rear fill. Disconnect the hatch speakers completely. A 5 channel amp sounds fine for you but I wouldn't go with a Jensen.
I can get you a nice Planet Audio 5-channel for $199.99 if you need a decent one on the cheap. It would be a better choice then any Jenson. That would do the job. I have a few of these right now.
Powerbass ASA 700.5 is another decent budget 5-channel at $229.99 or the ASA 1100.5 for added power at $259.99.
These are just a few options that would offer superior performance over a Jenson amp that you would be happier with down the road. Better to spend a little more and get something decent.

I haven't used any recent Planet Audio amps but my sub amp is a ~10 year old Planet Audio P1250D and the thing is beastly. Heavier and seemingly more powerful than an MB Quart ONX1.1500D that my cousin bought recently... in fact, the difference is so big that I no longer recommend MB Quart amps. (I currently use a MB Quart Q4.150 4ch and the thing runs at the temperature of the sun and shuts down sometimes :/)
