125 watts RMS per channel...

But I need a 4 channel....correct?

If you want to run all 4 speakers off of the amp you either need a 4 channel or two 2 channel amps. You could run two 2 channel amps if you wanted.

There is a very high quality perfectly compatible amp for a 4 speaker setup, it will be more than enough power for all 4 of your speakers(which means you dont turn it up to max) Its the same amp that I have for 4 very high end speakers which can take more power than any of the speakers you probably have, and its at a very good price. That amp is a very good amp, I guarantee it, it has never given me any kind of problem and I have been using it over 6 months now.

If you set it up for 2 ohm setup like I have its more than enough power.

Yep that amp puts out around the power of one I'd look for. I'd give that amp a try if I needed one and was on a tight budget.

im not griping you, i just said that its unrealistic to want quality and pay 100. and then i added i would go with the sony one. the phoenix one should be alright, theres reasons things are cheaper.

To setup the speakers at 2 ohms you need 2 ohm speakers I think. I'm not positive as I've never seen someone setup speakers at 2 ohms that I know of so not sure how you could wire it up and if you could to make them do it without 2 ohm speakers. Like my subs I run 2 4 ohm subs to a mono amp so that runs at 2 ohms. You can wire it for 2 or 8. If I only ran a single sub it would be wired for 4 ohms.

just to make sure im understanding this correctly they are four, 4 ohm, speakers right? You can wire them 2ohms if you wanted to go through the work. And you would just want to get a 2channel amp not a four channel. To set up the scenario in your head imagine you have 2 speakers on the right, 2 speakers on the left. On the left speakers hook up positive to positive on the speakers. Neg to Neg on the speaker. Now that your speakers are wired together hook up a positive and negative from your rear speaker to a positive and negative on one of the channels on the amp. Do the same for the right side speakers. Now you have both channels used on the amp and all speakers wired. and you have a 2 channel X 2 ohm load.

He can set up a 4 channel amp at 2 ohms and is more likely to get more power, you have to basically do the same thing but instead of working front back which means you lose your fader, you set up side to side so you keep fader and the amp will still recognize right from left so you keep your balancer too.

good point 98cherry that kind of slipped my mind thanks...I think i was just thinking in terms of ease but you would def want to keep your fader and balance its just more work side to side.

It is, but its well worth the effort! It can actually keep wires well seperated as well and keeping from getting static noise from eachother and the vehicle
