Default 2012 FX4 SCREW Help

After installing a PAC adapter behind the factory HU and running a single 12 off the "rear" channel of the PAC unit I have decided that it is time to upgrade the rest of the system in the truck. this is where my head starts spinning.

I would like to install this amp to the "Front" channel of the PAC unit:
http://wwv.crutchfield.com/p_777M210...e+m2100&tp=115

and would like to run this component set off of it:
http://wwv.crutchfield.com/p_091165A...ce-165AS3.html

I'll replace the rear speakers with focal 5x7 two ways running of HU power.

Assuming I run good wire from the amp to the fronts, will I be getting full signal and good quality sound to these components?? or do I need to get something like an LCQ-1 or a Clean Sweep? any help/advised changes would be sincerely appreciated.

planning on putting the 3" midrange by the defrost vent/sail in the doors.

You should be good running the equipment you have there. I would personally like a little more power for the components, and maybe a better quality amp, but that's just me. Are you happy with the bass you get from your current sub? If so, you won't need an lcq1 or other processor. You don't want bass frequencies going to your components anyway

Thanks for the reply, do you mean more power for components as in a set with higher wattage or a stronger amp to drive them? And yes I'm satisfied with the output of my current sub.

Stronger amp. I like to have 100-125 clean watts for my front stage.
