[QUOTE="laxman03, post: 924428, member: 552509"] well, you're going to want two amps for all the speakers, including the subs. a four channel amp that puts out 50 watts rms each channel would ge ideal for the four main speakers. then you could get a mono amp for the subs and wire both of them to it, or get a two channel amp that puts out 200 watts rms each channel and be good that way as well. but either way, one 500 watt amp like you mentioned would not work for all six total speakers. an easy way to look at it, all of the main speakers ( 5.25, 6.5, 5x7, 6x9, whatever sizes) will need their own channel, but the subs can be wired together to one amp in mono, which is basically a single channel, or you can wire a subwoofer to each channel on an amp as long as the amp can put out enough power to push the sub. hope this helps p.s. i have horrible typing skills, so if i misspelled anything or added an extra letter somewhere i apologize in advance [/QUOTE]
