What Kind of price range? I thinking a JL amp would be a great choice and would match your other one. I'm guessing the speakers changed were the rear sides and the doors. figure an amp with around 40-50x4 watts RMS for the Sony's. Or go a liitle bigger for room to grow in the future. (75/80x4)

no future for audio in my car, sponsored for drag racing, since its a daily driver i dont care about the weight of one sub, but still want the system to sound decent. i dont care if the amp for the speakers is JL or not becuase it probably wont be seen..how would a 50/4 power 6 speakers? (front, back sidepanels(mid range bass) and the 4" speakers in the rear(hatch))

I would look into a bazooka tube because they are powered(built in amp), sound decent, fairly price, and can be removed easily. Works out good in your situation.
