Need help dont know amps for shit

[r0nin89 10+ year member]

I currently have :

Back - (2)Boston S95 [6x9]

35-120w

4ohm

Front - (2)Boston 5X7 [4x6]

12-80w

4ohm

Subs - (2)Boston Rally RS12 [12"]

125(notsure)-400w

4ohm

I'd like to amplify the subs definatly and was wondering if I should amplify the speakers (my stereo is 50x4). Please suggest what you think i should go for and do a little explaining on what I should base my choice off of. I really dont know squat about amps just would like to get a nice sound and thump outta my car.

first of all, peak power really doesn't mean anything. What is the rms power of your amp, subs, speakers, and headunit? Once you determine that, you will no how much power you need.

I would amp everything with a 5 channel amp with built in crossover. clean simple install that should get the most out of those Bostons. Your radio doesn't give you anywhere near 50x4 so you can't use that as a gauge. An amp that gives 50 watts RMS will wake those speakers up.

So can you suggest an amp? See thing is I know my wattage learning about ohm and such but I am clueless with amps. I dont know how they are hooked up or what I need. Now a 5 channel would be 1 channel per speaker and 1 for both subs? When I search for 5 channel amps I see "4 x 100 Watts + 1 x 300Watts @ 2 Ohms" is it safe to amplify 4ohm speakers on that channel?
