HELP-Hookin' Up Audio!
Ok here's the situation and I need some advice on this setup.
I have 2 Rockford P2's - 4ohm Res. each - 200RMS - 400Peak
Probably buying 2 pioneer 6.5" components - 180W max
And pioneer DEH-7700 deck
Question is what is the best type of amp for this setup?
Should I get a 4 channel amp, Bridge 2 of them for the subs and other 2 run speaks? - Was looking at the Kenwood KAC-8452 for this.
Or should I just let the speakers hook up to the deck and get a smaller Amp just for the subs - like a 2 channel 2 x 200 @ 4 ohms - No amp found decent - only 180 x 2 was what I could find
Or speakers to deck and Subs in parallel to 2 ohms and get an Amp with about 300 x 1 @ 2ohms - looking at the KAC-729S for this.
Note I am not even sure if this is how the whole thing works so bare with me but I did some electronics so hopefully I got it right
BTW- I was also gonna get a 1 or 2 farad Cap depending on the setup.
So let the suggestions roll out fellaz! And don't be shy to offer your amps (if mods let this ride) for sale BUT you have to offer a setup with it!!!
Thanks fellaz. Oh and I will post pics after I'm done with this project.

4 channel amp with the rear channels bridged is the way I would go...
Hooking up your speakers to the regular outputs from the HU is generally a bad idea. Any amplification, even just 40w, is much better than anything your HU will put out!

Yeh this setup was my first choice...Thanks bro. This is a DIY for me so we'll see how it turns out. Hopefully nothing explodes
