Are you wanting to spend alot on the amps or just wanting something that will serve your purpose?? I would go with a 4 channel on all your highs and either a mono sub amp or a 2 channel for the subs. Also, sealed will sound the best for you. Bandpass is loud, but to me is extremely boomy sounding.

memphis makes 2 great 4 channel amps....check out the MC class for 2003.....you can find them on ebay for around 350, and they put out massive amounts of power, and draw less current. Excellent amps, highly reccomended, at least for the front and rear speakers. If you wanted to power 2 subs also you could go with the Memphis Belle series amps. They have 3 channels, 2 for the speakers, and a mono-block for the subs. If you are planning on gettin 2 4 ohm subs, you could wire them to a mono 2 ohm load and just buy one amp. You can find them for around 400 but I'm not sure. Once again I cant remember the exact model numbers off the top of my head, sorry, but I highly reccomend these amps. My friend has an all Memphis setup, and it is one of the finest sounding stereos I have ever heard

Cool. Thanks for the info. I have changed my mind on the subs. I am going with the Infinity Kappa 10's. 2 of them. I am going to build a sealed enclosure. I will check out the Memphis amps. Money isnt a great concern tdsteele. I would like to go with the SoundStream D'ARTAGNAN 6-Channel Amplifier. You guys familiar with it?
