Amp Question

[rvametalhead]

Hello all, new to the board and have a question. I am planning to transplant some of my audio from my car into my Escape, since it is now my daily driver. I have Diamond Audio M5 6.5s components for the front doors and Diamond Audio M3 6.5s for the rear doors, and I plan on getting a single 10 inch sub. My question is can I run these on a four channel amp? Say Driver front and rear on channel "A", Passenger front and rear on channel "B" and the bridge channels "C" and "D" to push the Sub. I am wanting to run a single amp instead of my 2 Kicker ZR(120 and 360) to save space and stress on the electrical system. And yes my equipment is circa 1998 but it still sounds great.

Thanks for any help you can provide

What you have planned will work fine. The only drawback is you will lose the ability to fade front to rear.

You can also seek out 3ch amps with a stronger subwoofer section or a 5/6 ch amp that will give you fader function. Personally, I'd look into 3ch amps and if you find the rears are too loud, put a sand resistor on them. The new Arc & JL D-Class amps are tiny and easy to tuck away. If I was worried about my 'electrical' and didn't want an amp with a large footprint, those would be on my shortlist.
