"The other advantages are that the typical monoblock that is a mono version of the same stereo amp has a much more highly rated power supply. This doesn't necessarily give much greater power but usually it invests monoblock versions with a great deal more grunt. The power supply is the most important part of the power amp - it's what serves the juice to be able to drive the speakers, so when your reservoir is twice as big, you can effectively go a lot longer at the same level, or supply bigger bursts of power.
The only disadvantage I can think of apart from cost is the earthing arrangement. A stereo power amp has both channels tied to the same earth point. Monoblocks don't have this since they're separate. A difference in earth potential can make the amps sound slightly difference and can even introducec mains-borne noise. Therefore, it's usually recommended that the monoblocks are plugged in as close to each other as possible. If using a 4-way block, then they should be plugged in next to each other for example." - http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/1/113603.html
Get the Bostons Stig, I've heard them and they are tops . Honestly im sick of everyone going on about how alpine this alpine that. They go to JB and ask whats the best and they will tell you get alpine type X everything.
Go to a real car audio store and every speaker in the price range is better. Not saying that they are bad, but are overpriced.
Also why you putting components in the rear? That destroys the sound stage. Also if your going to spend that much in the rears, you might as well spend most in the front speakers and just get cheap coaxials in the rear.
