Default A few question from a first time owner.

Hi all,
Just bought my first crossfire (08 Coupe) as a replacement for my Subaru Legacy. Just had a few quick questions if anyone could offer any advice.
Firstly I know the general subject of this has been done to death but I made the mistake of taking matters into my own hands before doing a massive amount of research. So the dealer I purchased the car from gave me one key. I proceeded to contact our New Zealand local Chrysler dealer who would be happy to get me one for wait for it........... $1200. Considering that's roughly 1/8th of what I paid for the car there's no way that's happening so I did literally half a minute of research and ordered 2 second hand Mercedes SLK320 key fobs and 2 new shells with uncut blades. Evidentially although they aren't here yet further reading it became clear even if I can re program them to unlock the car it probably won't start unless I'm mistaken ?

Secondly I switched out the head unit (already had an aftermarket alpine in it) with a Pioneer which I am very happy with I am puzzled however by the rear subs. I added RCA's as I probably wont bother with the janky looking what I'm guessing are amps behind both seats. Instead I'm planning on simply putting a small Pioneer amp in and simply powering them off that. Just wanted to make sure they are indeed amps and not crossovers for the front door speakers (still factory) or something as they aren't bolted down and the rear subs don't work seems it'll be easier to do that and just rip the amps out and go 2 channel Pioneer ? Anybody simply gone that route.

Apologies if any of these subjects have been hammered any advice would be greatly appreciated.
