Default subs and speakers

For the tweeters in the doors, 2 way pioneers. And 4 way pioneer 6.5. Same thing for the sail panels speakers. And the rear hatch 5 way pioneers. I have a JVC hu and the monsoon amp.
For the subs I was thinking 2 Memphis 10 inch shallow subs with a 1000 watt Memphis amp. I wanted to put them on the ledge behind the rear seats.
I would love your guys opinion on this.

I'd spend more money on the front and less on the back, who's back there listening? It's for ur ears anyway. The subs sound good but ull want a custom built box. Memphis flats r granny bass is wat we tell the customers here at the shop. But if that all ur looking for then it's good, I'm guessing since ur putting so much power behind them ur wanting beat, not gonna be what ur expecting. Also if u have a line on Memphis how come u don't do a component set up front? Ud love the sound

Keep in mind for every sub over 1, it's only a 3db gain. Some times if ur tight on space a good single sub will work fine

4 way and 5 way speakers? Wow.

Personally, here's what I'd do.

Ditch the Monsoon stuff, all of it, including the amp.
Run a good set of components up front (CDT, Infinity, Kicker, etc)
Run a set of 2 way or mid-bass woofers in the sail panels.
Run a single properly powered sub in a stealthbox.

I also plan on removing all the Monsoon system and upgrading to different stuff, should make a great difference lol
