Although the Alpine equipment you have picked out is all good, there are some problems.

First, the speakers, SPR-17C are over-sized 6.5", your car takes standard 6.5", so if you want to use them, some custom work is needed to install them properly.

The sub, SWR-1042D is a 500W continuous speaker, neither of the amps you looked at have enough power to drive the sub properly, you really need something in the 500W-600Wx1 into 2ohms range, or there is a potential to damage the sub, with that said, it will work with a 1x200W into 2 ohm amp, but you will have to be careful not to drive the amp into continuous clipping.

The sub box will work, recommended gross volume, [sealed box] for the sub is .5 - .8 cuft, although I would "beef up" the box with some bracing.

You have linked 2 amps a 4x40W RMS into 4 ohms and a 1x220W RMS into 4 ohms or 1x400W RMS into 2 ohms
The mono block could be used to power the sub, although a little underpowered.
The 4ch could be bridged into a 2ch amp and drive the 2way speakers, although also a little underpowered, 2x80W RMS into 4 ohms, [the speakers are 100W continuous. 94

What if I get the MRP-F250 (multichannel) amp in the link above for the 6.5 speakers around the car then hook the 10" sub with this amp:

or
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ol...26929 which I know would work its got good continuos power just expensive
would that be a safe choice?

one thing about the speakers is you need to be aware of how deep they are. because you need shallow 6.5s or like i have 5.25 in a adapter plate.

What do you mean, "6.5 speakers around the car" do you have two sets of the Alpine SPR-17C?

Both the amps you link would do the job, although 300W is way more over-powered then you need to be, you will have to be very careful with the amp gain, I would still look for something that makes 1x500W-600W RMS into 2 ohms.

If the 4ch is going to be bridged into a 2ch to run just a set of front speakers, then it will work just fine, but again, why not just find a 2ch, 2x100W-125W into 4 ohms?

If you are talking about 4 speakers that's another issue, and you did understand that the Alpine SPR-17C speakers will not fit the stock speaker brackets/housings. 94

If it's a choose between what you have linked then the two last amps you linked would be the ones I would use. 94

so basically the 75w mulitchannel and bridge it to either of the last mono amps? does it matter with either of the power on the mono amps or are they both ok to be linked to and enough to drive the sub?
