Im running Kenwood component speakers in the front (280 watts peak) and (80 watts RMS) and in the back im running kenwood 3 way speakers (240 watts peak) and (70 watts RMS). Question is if i got two subwoofers at (300watts peak) and (150watt RMS) each what kind of amp should i be getting. I want the amp to power all four of my speakers and i dont know whats what and should i get a five channel amp or two amps, a four channel and a mono amp for the subs? Can anyone post some links on some good amps that would fit my needs plz thank you.

You're gonna probably want to do 2 seperate amps as this allows you more flexability. Sometimes it is hard to find an 5 channel amp that will do exactly what you want for the speakers and for the subs. I run 2 amps in my Versa. for the subs you can either do a 2 channel amp or wire them together to a single channel.

something like this for the speakers:http://www.crutchfield.com/p_777M4075/S ... l?tp=35782

and something like this for the subs: http://www.crutchfield.com/s_575P3001P/ ... l?tp=35834

or a 5 channel like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/s_136XD7005/ ... l?tp=35808

A 5 channel amp will be easier to setup up, but will cost a lot more than buying 2 separate amps. It still depends what you buy of course, cause any amp can be expensive, Its just my experience that you can get a 4 channel and a mono for less than a 5.

And I do suggest ordering from crutchfield. They have the best customer service in the business and if anything goes wrong they will go to the end of the earth to fix it. I purchase almost all of my equipment from them.

I hope all this helped!
