4 chan amp

[hockey512546 10+ year member]

i'm trying to figure out what i'm going to do as far as an amp

was wondering if it is possible to bridge 2 channels on a four channel for a sub and then use the remaining 2 channels to power components

or would I be better off just getting a 2 chan amp for the comps and a mono for the sub

no idea how much power i want for either, just trying to get an idea

You can do what you mentioned, for a budget set up. Id do the second if you are planning a large sub stage.

it would depend on what your wanting run off of the amp or amps. a lower power sub stage would be fine with a 4ch. if your wanting to run better subs then i would go with the 2ch and mono or a 5ch.

75 rms on the comps and maybe 500 on the sub

probably good to use a 2 chan and a mono then right?

Or you can go with a 5ch such as the Mobile Spec ICEX-5400

You could go with a 4 ch, but it would have to be a beast of a 4ch to get ~500w to the sub. Big Kicker or RF would do it. Memphis and HF have some that are 400+ too.
