Icon2 choosing an amp for 4 speakers.

i want to run...
2 alpine spe-6000 6.5in speakers 60rms each ($80 pair)
2 alpine spe-6090 6x9in speakers 75rms each ($90 pair)

im looking for an amp to power them since i doubt the head unit will.

would it be better to get a 4 channel amp at 75+ rms per channel and put each speaker on its own channel

or

a 2 channel amp at 150+ rms per channel and run the back to a channel and the front to a channel.



also should i shoot for 4 ohms or 2 i know ppl say 4 sounds better but how much does it sound better than 2 ohms??


and how are these amps ones a 4 and ones a two channel?

If you want to keep things simple just get a 2ch amp for the fronts and run the rears off the deck.

If you don't have the front speakers yet, I'd suggest components versus coaxial.

agreed

If u do have them, just amp all 4 of them.

GO with as much power as u can afford

This would be a better buy then the 2 u listed
