Default Amp/Speaker question

So right now i have aFusion 12" sub with a 500 watt amp and im soon to be getting all new speakers and head unit. im going to be getting Polk DX7 5x7" for my rears and Rockford Fosgate T162S 6.5" speakers for the front with a Pioneer Premier deh-p600ub head unit. I would like your guys's inputs as to what amp i should get to replace the one i have, i would like to run all my speakers and sub off of this amp or maybe get two amps? im really new to this audio stuff so i dont know whats possible lol. also, i was wondering what you guys think of the speakers and head uniti want to gowith. any feedback is grately appreciated.

Headunit is a great choice. Yes I would get 2 amps.

They do have 5-6 ch. amps so you could run the 4 speakers and then the subs off of the 5th or 6th ch. of the amp. It takes up less room but you usely get less power from those amp tho.

2 amps will be more powerful depending on what amps you get.

Well is the sub single voice coil or dual vioce coil? What is the ohm reading on the sub? That will tell me if a 2 ch. or a mono amp would be beter for you.

Yes 4 ch. for the interior speakers.

I would go with a mono amp for your subs and wire them to 2 ohm.
