Aftermarket Speakers

Hello everyone!

I will soon be joining the TC family. When I get my car I plan on redoing the speaker system to aftermarket. I had a few questions:

Do the Scions come with a factory component system already?
I have a Pioneer-6400BT HU which I plan on putting in it. Since the RMS output for this HU is 22x4, it is not nearly enough to power four aftermarket speakers I plan to get, that have a RMS of 210 combined. I plan on hooking up the speakers to a amplifier instead. Although, the car still has tweeters that I didn't take into account, should I just wire these to the headunit or an amplifier. What do you recommend?
Where is the best place to buy the in-dash kit for the HU, custom subwoofer enclosures for the trunk and wiring harnesses,etc? I know Crutchfield has most of these but I was curious what the fellow Scion Junkies had in mind.
Where is the best location to mount an amplifier, and does anyone have any pictures of how they've mounted theirs?
When it comes to power and electrical wiring, I'm quite new to this. If I were to get an amplifier that was to power all 4 speakers; I would need one thats approx. 200 RMS output and 4-channel. My question is that is each channel on the amp dedicated 50 Watt RMS out? Because some speakers I have are 80 watt RMS and if each channel only sent out 50 watts I would still be under-powering it. So do these amplifiers send out as much power as the speaker can handle or is it just a set amount per channel?

Thanks in advance
