5 channel Amps

Just want to know how good these companies are and what not.
I want to be able to run 4-speakers and 2-subs, I realize that these are 5 channel and not 6 channel so is there a way to make it to where one channel can run two subs? or will this cause problems, I am just trying to get the cheapest/best system I can for my buck

Most 5-channel amps don't have enough juice to power a pair of subs unless they are low end (JL Audio Amps excluded). I would suggest getting a 4ch and a Mono or 2ch amp for sub duties.

But if you do decide to stick with a 5ch, Make sure you have the correct impedence subs to provide a 2ohm load to the 5th channel. For example, two 4ohm SVC subs wired in parallel will give you a 2ohm load.
 
What about those RE Subs?
I am looking at the Pioneer Speakers in my doors (link in Free Stuff thread) and then 2 RE 10" subs in a sealed box...

Would that amp be enuf juice for everything or do I need to look for something else
I was just going to try and get one amp so it'd be easier to make a clean install and then a cap and then the 2 subs in the back.

the hifonics amp will work perfectly with a single RE sub. they are dual voice coil, so you can wire one to 2 or 8 ohms, and a pair of them to either 1, 4, or 16 ohms. a pair running off the amp at 4 ohms will only get 200 watts going to both subs. a single sub would get the full 300 watts, which is more than enough.

my suggestion, get a single RE12. it'll handle the higher power better, plus it will have much more output than a single 10.
 
I had the Kenwood Excelon KAC-X650D 5 channel amp and I really liked it. 40x4 and 125x1. Now I have the JL Audio 500/5 and it ROCKS! 100x2, 25x2, 250x1...mmmmm...more power!!!
