The Amp will be perfect to run the whole system. Buy a component system and you will cover your doors and the tweeters. Many agree throughout the forum that you do not need your rear speakers. Do away with your Monsoon Amp all together (my oponion). You can you bridge the Amp to 150 watts and cut it over wherever for your Sub. I'm using a JL 10W1 I have about half of the work done. I'm using a JL Clean Sweap straight from the head unit. It has Aux in also so I might make a custom holder for an IPOD or Zune. Propable Zune so I can have FM and basically used that and not the head unit. I ordered JL 6 1-2 Coponents for $299 off of Crutchfield. I'll keep you posted.
This is the first time I will attempt to install everything by myself, also this is the first time I'm using fiberglass. So far so good.

Great Job! Keep us posted, after your finished we'd love to run a feature on your build on our National Web Site!

Thanks,

Martin-GMR
