what do you think is a good amp for these speakers...

front...250w and 50rms
rear...300w and 55rms

how much watt and rms do i need for the amps?

i think a couple 100-300 watt amps would work... front bridged off of one, and rear bridged off the other.

does the rms of the amp matter for the speakers? btw the speakers are alpine type r

yeah, i read your last post as well (and replied). i suppose around 200 rms would be fine.

RMS means ROOT MEANS SQUARE. That is the number of wattage that you look at. Those speakers are 50 and 55 watts RMS. MAX WATTAGE MEANS NOTHING.

As for an amp, how much money are you willing to spend?

mayb around 100 or something..it doesnt really matter.

Do you need to amp all the speakers? If you get a 4 channel id look at 50-75 watts rms per channel. Then you can bridge the rear channels and run a sub. Or do you plan just to run the 4 interior speakers and no sub?

i seriously wounld not run the subs & speakers off the same amp. you could however use a four channel amp for all the speakers. then geta mono or 2 channel amp for your sub/subs.

Why do you consider it a bad idea? Why buy two amps and the extra wiring when you can save space and simplify wiring by using a single amp? Also amping the rear speakers is a waste imo. Why spend the money for people that probalby dont care anyways? Or if you want to buy that just buy a single 6 channel amp. If the amp is worth anything the power supply should be able to keep up with the power demands. The only reasons I can see for using a seperate 2 channel for the sub is if it needs a lot of power.

ever ran an alpine type r sub? or components? it's be a hellofalot more practical IMO to run two seperate amps.
