Audio help please

I am not looking for an award winning sound system, just something that sounds half way decent and is fairly consistent with the original look of the car. I have purchased the two post radio from Custom Auto Sound along with the kick panels with the Pioneer speakers for the front (made for AC car). I am thinking I should put a decent amplifier along with a sub and two decent 6x9 speakers in the rear package tray. I would probably mount the sub between the two 6x9's.

Is JL audio stuff any good or does anyone recommend anything else? I prefer to use only one amp so should I go with the 5 channel amplifier? A guy at one of the aftermarket places is telling me the 6 channel amp is the way to go but I think this is more for the high end sound and am not sure if it will support the sub very well.

Thanks for the advice.
