Default Need help with new setup - Does this sound like a good idea?

Hi all.

Im new to car audio setups, and have a few questions. So far I have
the following gear:

1. 1 800watt, 4 channel amp (Avalanche).
2. 4 speakers which are 25watt minimum, and 100watt maximum (VDO).
3. 1 10'inch sub. Not sure what the watts (rms?) for that is.

Basically, the way I figure it, if I have:

*1 channel from the amp being split into the front speakers, giving
them 100watt each
*The second channel from the amp being split into the rear speakers,
giving them 100watt each
*The two remaining channels being bridged into the sub at 400watts.

This means that the speakers are running at thier maximum 100watt
recomendation, and the amp is running at its 800watt maximum.

Is it a very good idea to be doing this? Should I be putting this much
power into everything? Any recommendations?
