several amps...

[Mac11 10+ year member]

Yes, I know I don't like the 'which amp' threads either but I have to this time so plz bear with me..

I will be runing a front component set that will take up to 150wrms pretty easily and has sounded good in the past on as little as 40.

The rear 2channels, for now, will run a single sub, dual 4ohm coils, that wants ~200rms total. I have a few offers on amps and am having a hard time deciding what I should go with. If it were you, and they all cost the same, which would you go with

Wont lose its resale value if you decide to change amps later on.

You need something one ohm stable stereo, 2 ohm mono. Other wise you won't get too much output to the sub, it'll be just like running the sub off of a 4 ohm stereo load, just wired mono at 8 ohms.

Whoops I meant 2ohm bridged mono.

that is what I am saying....regardless of if I am running the rear pair of channels bridged at 2 ohms or in stereo at 4 ohms each doesnt really matter
