5 Channel SQ small footprint amp for 2000 Vette

[RBREGE]

I am looking for good suggestions for a small 5 channel amp that i can use in my C5. Im upgrading the speakers to a focal component set up front and focal 6.5 in back. They can handle about 60 watts RMS each. Also will add a small 10 or 12 inch sub I would expect it to be around 500 watt RMS. Really looking to go with one small amp just due to the limited space. Any suggestions are appreciated, i use to come on here all the time but locked my old name out and dont have access to the email address anymore.

I would not do the rear speakers. I'd put super crazy speakers up front on a lot of power, leave the rear speakers on radio or out of the car, and then just do a small monoblock for the sub. IMO, there's no reason for rear speakers in a 2 door sports car like a C5. When you go to a concert, you don't turn your back to the stage. Why have anything besides bass coming from behind you?

If you run a three-way active set in the front and a sub in the rear, look at the Audison APF8.9. You can use 6 of the 8 channels - one for each speaker in the front, then bridge the last two channels together for the Sub.

Or you can run (2) sets of two-ways, the front active and the rear passove, and still have two channels to bridge for the sub. If you do this, go for the Focal 165x-WP Utopias - ONLY the best for your Vette...!
