Feedback on speaker plan

First time using external amps so looking for advice or feedback on my plans to upgrade the speakers in my 2005 GTO.
MMC6500 in the front doors (125 rms)
MMC650 in rear side panels (80 rms)
Kicker Comp 8 in the rear deck (should be able to make these fit, rated at 100 rms but I think the free air rms/infinite baffle is about 55w)
C400.4 and C300.2 in the trunk.
Running 4 gauge (~ 10ft) to d-block and then 8 to the amps. Do I run 8 or 4 gauge from each amp ground to seperate location?
I had planned to use the C300 on the kickers but it looks like that would be too much for this application. So came up with something different.
Running speaker inputs from the HU, (no pre-outs on the HU), into the C400. Input from the HU will be switched fronts to the rear and rears to the front. Did it this way since the bass gain remote will only work on the rear channel. Also I want to be able to turn down the rear side panels without affecting the subs which I think I can control from the remote gain.
On the C400 the subs (Kickers) will be off the rear (really front) and the rear side panels (MCC650) off of the front channel. Bass gain remote hooked to the C400. Preout from the C400 rear channels (again this is really front), to the C300 to run the MCC 6500's in the front.
I have a schematic if anyone is interested
Thanks!

I wouldnt think the 300.2 would be too much for the 8's (Im assuming youve got 2 of em).polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005
