Kyle,
Aside that you have a cd deck and I have the tape deck w/ cd changer controls,
you've the same set up that I have. My suggestion would be a Sherwood amp.
It's not a big name in amps, but it's the only amp myself or my friends have
had that hasn't had any problems. It hasn't overheated, or friend it self,
even though I had it tucked under my drivers side seat and ran it at peak
levels for extended periods of time pushing 2 Pioneer 10"s. I've got the
100x4 one. It's got separate front back RCA inputs, adjustable crossovers
built in for each (front - back) and a bass boost for each as well. I like
this amp so much I'm saving for the 100x2 model. I redid my system a while
ago so I could keep the storage box in the back and don't need 100x4, but it's
still a great amp. Cost wise, I seem to recall paying $279 before tax at the
local Electronics Express. I used to have my system just like I like. With
that amp I was able out boom and sound better than most other cars at the few
shows I went to, and the bass level on the deck was set at "0" and the loud
wasn't on:)
Just a suggestion.

PS If anyone's interested in this amp email me with an offer. I've still got
the box and all the papers. I'm not BSing about the amp, the product just
sold itself to me. Like my Dak :)
