Need help picking out amps

I'm thinking of a two amp set up, one for the subs and one for the 3 pairs of speakers. I also dont know about a capacitor or and type of processor.

Here's what I got on the list...

Kenwood eXcelon DNX9960HD GPS Navigation DVD Stereo w/ Bluetooth

JBL GTO608C Grand Touring Series 6-1/2" 2-way Component System

JBL P8662 6" x 8" 2-way Power Series Speakers - Sonic Electronix

JBL P562 5-1/4" 2-way Power Series Speakers - Sonic Electronix

JBL MS-10SD4 (MS10SD4) 10" Dual 4 ohm MS Car Subwoofer

looks like a pretty nice setup to me. as for the amps, sonic should be able to tell which one to get. i agree, two amps, one just for the subwoofer and the other for the speakers. im running three, one for front door speakers, one for rear speakers, both same type of amp, and one for the subwoofer. i have the jbl subwoofers and thought about there speakers but have read a lot about Boston A, i beleive there the se55, something like that. check on ebay, you can get the stuff for almost half the price.

I like my Kicker amps. Had Kicker in the doors, but just switched to Infinity. If you run close to 1,000 watts RMS, you should get a capacitor. Otherwise, once the amps are in, crank it up and if you notice the headlights dim with power surges, this means you need a cap.
