yes if you have the low end rear speakers then by all means do it...i did on my old v6. this new v6 has the 460 in it so it's more noise then i'll ever need lol

deck speakers i believe, they are the two you can see if you look on the roof of the trunk
if i have two speakers that are 6X9 and they can each handle up to 200w should i get a 200 amp? or do i need to add the two speakers watts together and get an amp that handles 400w?
thats an example im using not actual size or power.

all you need is a 4 channel amp, i forget wattage, but i got mine shipped for like 170. call crutchfield they'll help you figure everything out and for the most part theyre the cheapest with the best and most deals, pm me if you use them ill get you 20 off
Do you have an aftermarket head unit?
like the others said get a 4 channel amp...
Also I wouldn't suggest buying from Crutchfield... They are expensive... However I would suggest doing research on their website.
This is where I buy all my speaker equipment.

I have a convertible so my speakers are not on the rear deck but are the same size.
Okay, well If you are just doing the rear deck speakers you can get two 6x9's.
If you want an amp get a two channel amp for those two speakers. Match the RMS (continous power) of the speakers to the RMS of the amp you choose.
Try to get something of good quality. I am running nothing but Rockford Fosgate.Pioneers are also good as well as Infinity,JBL..etc.
So for example:
If your two speakers are rated at 100 watts each and 65 RMS each, get an amp that is close to matching the speakers RMS.Don't go by the total watts.
Hope that helps
