need opinions on my setup

Just wanted to get some opinion on the setup that I just bought, I've have been doing a lot of research on diamond audio and they seem to be my best bet from the reviews, I just bought the DA S600s for up front and bought thr DA M391i 6x9's for the rear deck, I bought the Phoenix Gold Ti600.2 to power the DA S600s I heard the speakers need lots of power so im gonna power the DA S600s at 150x2 @4ohms and I was think of running the rear 6x9's off the headunit for now. Would it be a bad choice to run the 6x9's off the head unit would they be getting enough power? I plan on getting a pair 6.5 midbass driver for the rear side panels and a four channel amp to run the 6.5 midbass drivers and the 6x9's in a couple of months. If you guys have any better suggestions on how I should set it up let me know. thanks

What a good midbass speaker I was thinking of getting a pair of kickers are they any good?

would I be able to use the stock bose amp to run the rear 6x9's? or would it be better to run off the head unit?

Sounds like you picked some good equipment. I hope you have actually listened to the Diamonds and they are what you want.

Are you replacing the factory HU? If so I would just run the 6x9 off the aftermarket head unit. If you're not replacing the factory HU just run them off the Bose amp. Are you going to be running a sub i the future?

I havent listen to them yet but I will once there installed if I dont like them i'll just sell them I guess, im not realy that picky when it comes to sound quality as long as it clear and some nice mids and not sloppy sounding like the bose. I do have a pioneer 8500 head unit and it rated 50x4 peak & 22x4 rms and wasnt sure if that would be enough power to run the DA 6x9's. No plans on running any subs but I do plan on getting some good midbass drivers for the side panels to give me a little more bass.

For some reason when I first installed the new head unit the stock bose sounded pretty good but now there begining to sound like total ****. Did anone else notice that after they installed a aftermarket head unit

You should be ok running th 6x9s off the Pioneer HU, but I would run some type of high pass cross over on them. Have the crossover point set down around 50-60 hz, You'll lose whatever low end bass there was in the car, but will keep the 6x9 from getting killed.
