Default Advice for set-up Mid's and Highs

I was planning on a stealth type enclosure, but my friend(being strapped for cash) made me an offer I couldn't refuse two Kenwood Wfc 3009 12's with the box and Kenwood 7202 920W amp for 180. I was getting a DVD head unit and some components with a small amp to push them this weekend, but I had to do a tranny rebuild that cost 1000 bucks . On the upside this does give me a time time plan out a better system. The subs are decent at 400w RMS a piece and they do get very loud(I put them in my Dad's Escalade to test them out) but the amp doesn't power them as much as I want. What I thinking was to get a bigger amp for the subs and use the 7202 for some mids or subs(maybe 8's) in the sails. Space is very limited but I'd like to run three amps 1 for the subs, 1 for whatever's in the sails and 1 for the components. My budget is just about 1500.
I'm looking for suggestions for the Mid/Bass for the sails
some good 4's for the hatch
A amp that'll put out enough power to push the subs hard at least 350-400RMS per sub
And lastly has anyone ever used the Monsoon amp location for an aftermarket amp or modified the hatch speaker locations to accommodate ovular speakers like 5x7's or 6x8's.

IF brand is not an issue then go with a performance technique go with the 779 2ch it has 400rms @ 4ohms bridge. And if you want to go with a name brand go with Rockford F. For the hatch speakers on my camaro i use 4.5" with spacer to move it down 1/2in and some tweeters I think they wher Hifonic's.
