ok thx.
anyway, what is the least amount of amps we have to get to power component speakers ?
and can we use 1 amp to power the whole system + sub and still get a decet result ?
hehe bare with me, i;m learning here 
not a problem bro, I was once there. You could run two sets of components with one 4ch amp, the wattage of that amp is dictated by the rms rating of the components. You could run one 5ch amp for the whole system, but a decent one is gonna cost you a pretty penny.
