Hi, I'm pretty new to car audio, and need some advice from you experts. I'm about to buy 2 Kicker 10" L5's (need 200rms per voicecoil to sound the best is what I'm told). I need a new amp that will push these, but I'm on somewhat of a tight budget. The amp I currently have is rated RMS @4Ohms 125x1 and RMS @2Ohms 250x1. I'm really not sure what all of this means yet, but does it sound like I will need to upgrade? Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot!

Also, may sound like a dumb question...but would you all reccommend a 4 channel amp over a 2 channel? I have pretty decent Alpine speakers in the front, would it be worth it to hook them up to a 4 channel? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

never run a 4 cahnnel unless they are dual 2ohm or single 4ohm subs....Period..... and people need to ask Voice coil config before sugesting 4 channel amps to people......
