I've realized that the more research I do and the more I read, the more retarded I become.  I know it is supposed to have the opposite effect, but the more ideas I get the more complicated I make things.  So I'm here now reaching out for help and guidance.....so don't burn me I'm new to this!

Here is the setup: Eclipse cd5030 head / Boston Acoustics pro60se for the front rated at 125W each side rms / BA SR65 for the rear at 75W rms each /  1 JL Audio 10W3V2-2 (or could do the 4 ohm depending on amp choices and setup) at 300W rms

Room is limited it's a 2 seater 300zx.  I have no problem using 2 smaller amps (one for sub one for others) or 1 big one.  The problem is now I'm starting to talk myself into using resistors for the back two speakers and about a million other ideas.  Someone please simplify this for me.  I need some good no BS recommendations on an amp/s and wiring setup that will be the most efficient for these speakers. Can switch the sub 2 or 4 ohm as I haven't purchased it yet.  So throw the ideas 2 channel, 4 channel, 5? 2 amps? 1? Series/Par I'm thinking way too hard so I need basics 101.

the infinity kappa 5 channel is pretty bad *** and has a relatively small footprint.  I have installed a few of them and don't have any complaints.
