you have an amplifier for the subs right?
you're not powering them with the head unit... I hope.
its not really 200 watts. head units are really about 15 watts x 4 channels RMS.
the peak ratings a re meaningless, and used for advertising.
also I'd focus on replacing the blown speakers, as well as getting a head unit with the features you want.
If you want to be able to control bass to separate speakers and such, you're going to also need a separate 4 channel amplifier for the front/rear speakers. The head unit won't allow that sort of control on its own power.
Few will, at least. Alpine and Pioneer may have a few that do.
