3-channel & 5-channel amp questions

[iwski]

Looking for a 3 or 5-channel amp if they are a good way to power a set of components and a sub. I only need a 3-channel but may buy a 5-channel for more flexibility if I want to add something else.

Looking at a set of Infinity Kappa 60.7 components that are 2-ohm like these:

Looking at a shallow-mount 10 or 12" sub like this Rockford P3SD212:

Kicker 06ZX700.5 amp looks like a potential option. This sub I listed above is 2-ohm, so 425W should be plenty. What if I get a 4-ohm sub----will 210W be enough from the 5-channel amp? Just want a decent sounding system without breaking the bank.

I'm selling my kappa components and rears and bridging HSKs

It's a great amp, its huge, but its the only amp I need, well worth it (vents out of the front too!)

If you want to open up your options -- a good sized 4 ch can make an effective 3 ch. You can bridge the 2 rear channels of a quality 100x4 amp for ~400w @ 4.
