Is there a way I can power them with my amp, the front speakers only?

The amp has hookups for 2 subs, so could I use one of the hookups to power the front speakers, and the other for the sub?

if its a mono amp just use it for the subs....

Okay, but the components will sound ok running off of the head unit?

Eventually I'll get another amp to power the speakers

Are components any harder to hook up than regular speakers? Sorry for being such a n00b.

Last question, I promise.

Could you give me suggestions on speakers if the above ones suck?

Infity, JL, ED, CDT, Boston Acoustics, Polk, rf, Alpine...I could go on

Memphis eqipment is low end although better than stock.
