Sounds like you have it my friend!! Did you understand what I was explaining about the 80.2 vs. the 80.4? If you decide on the 80.2 you will have to wire your components together in parallel and then run it to one of the channels THEN you will have to wire your rear speakers in parallel and run it to the other channel. You will not be able to fade left or right...... but in my opinion that's no big deal. Especially if it gives you more power at a cheaper price.

Are you installing this yourself? I would. Save the cash. It's not that hard. I can talk you through it if you would like. First, your going to need a 4 guage amp wiring kit. Let me know if you need anymore help!

Best Buy will definately have amp kits..... but it might be a little overpriced. If you are going to order all your equipment on-line, you mise well order your wiring on-line too and save some cash.
You'll need:
Two sets of RCA's
remote turn on wire (16 or 18g wire)
4g power wire
4g ground wire
8g power wire
8g ground wire
1 distribution block that has a 4g input and atleast two 8g outputs
Battery clamps of some kind to attach power & ground wire to battery
4g In-line fuse holder with...... I'd say an 80amp fuse should be good.
And a bunch of speaker wire

The best places on-line are:
www.knukonceptz.com
Get the : http://www.knukonceptz.com/detail.as...uct_id=KOLAK44
That is actually a 4 guage 4-channel amp kit, but it comes with more stuff that you could use. And for only $36!! Get that plus this: http://www.knukonceptz.com/detail.asp?product_id=FB1428 that will split your 4g power wire into two 8g wires. Run one to your JBL BP80.2 and the other to the JBL BP600.1 You'll also need some 8g wire. http://www.knukonceptz.com/search_re...btnSearch.y=10 (.45/foot) Get Blue and silver to match your other wire. You need about 8ft. of each. (to be safe) You'll also need some way of attaching your wires to the battery. Does your battery have top or side mount posts? Or both? knukonceptz has some gear to help you either way.
Amp Kit= $36
D-block = $11
8ft. 8g power (colored) wire= $3.60
8ft. 8g ground (colored) wire= $3.60
Total=$54.20+ battery clamps or posts or whatever works for your battery.....
Shipping is reasonable for such a heavy product. And they are very quick. I have ordered through them several times.
www.darvex.com is another good place.
http://www.darvex.com/miva/merchant....tegory_Code=WK
There are a couple of 4g amp kits. One blue/silver and one red/black. Which ever you prefer. Darvex also sells Stinger brand equipment, but when it comes to plain ol' wire... there's not much difference between Stinger brand, Audiopipe and the knukonceptz brand. Except the price!!

I can walk you through the actual installation if you like. It's actually very easy. The worst part will probably be installing the tweeter from the component system..... but even that's not too hard. It' easy bro, trust me. Don't let some installer charge you $3-400 to install all your gear!!! Let me know how the wire ordering goes..... and if you need any more help, just ask!!!

order it with your amp, if its out of state its tax free, and make sure and order all the wires at once, or else you will have to pay more shipping
