I will probably be going with one or two 10" subs but i haven't chosen them yet.
So this leaves me with basically three scenarios:
1. Purchase a 2 channel amp for the fronts; Run the rears off the headunit's built in amp; Purchase a separate mono amp for the subs.
2. Purchase a 4 channel amp; Run the fronts and bridge the other two channels for a single sub; Run the rears off the headunit's amp.
3. Purchase two 2 channel amps, one for the fronts, one for the rears; Purchase a third mono amp for the sub(s).
What seems like the "best" way to go? I am leaning toward option 1 at this point but I would really like some feedback and amplifier brand/model recommendations for this setup..
option 4: JL 450/1 which already gives more power to teh front channels than to the rear.. and its a single solution, then add a second class D amp for subs. set the 450/1 to mono for rears if you want a better front stage. rear stereo speakers really trash a SQ system, causing a drifting sense and lack of focus for pinpointing vocal and instrumental locations for imaging.
option 5: use one Kicker or MTX 5 channel amplifier as a "total solution" and run fronts on front channels, rears on rear channels (in mono) and a sub on the sub channel. one amp. one mounting spot, one cable run.. everything you need in one clean job.

i guess if price doesn't matter, then the 5 channel amp probably would be a good solution. but make sure it's a good name brand, hence, if price doesn't matter. because a good 5 channel amp will cost you some money, but will be worth it.
