the sub is really for me since i want some thumps when im in her car or driving it...so a sub and another amp is a must!
It's up to you how you think it will sound best. I would suggest you try it that way first...then, if you want to upgrade...do it. This is just how I like my sound to be. I think that you will find with 85W on those components you will have all the sound you need. If you find that you need more, get the sub amp, add the second pair of speakers and you are good to go.
Do what you like, but if you try it that way, you have a simple upgrade path...that's why I always recommend that style system. Regardless, do what you like!!
another question.. im getting internal amp first so i know i need an 8 gauge kit..but since im going to get another amp probably sometime in the summer, should i get a 4gauge now instead of the 8 gauge??? and what amp kit is good? lightning audio? RF? streetwires???
Don't waste your time with the 8 ga...go for 4 ga. Basically, all kits are the same. There are some exceptions to this generalization, but generally speaking it's true.
The only real differenced are the coatings on the connectors and the colors on the wires...all in all...not a big difference. You won't find much if any of the propriatary technology in kits. The most economical set is going to come from Knukonceptz (

I was in a similar position, bought the 4 channel, ran components and the sub, and never went any further with the system, I was pretty satisfied at that point, so I had bought a 4 ga kit for two amps.
