Which Amp for which speakers

[Newcaraudio]

Hey all!

I'm very new to this, and there isn't a reputable shop here to go to with questions so here it is.

I have purchased a set of Boston Pro 50SE speakers. I also want to purchase a Boston subwoofer and a boston amp. I am looking for the right amp to power my new speakers in the right way and get the most sound quality. From what I have read, I would want to run the amp at a 2ohm load to get the most power from it. Which means that I would need to purchase a Boston G310-44 DVC 4ohm sub so I can wire it to run at a 2ohm load, is this correct? I have a 10" sub enclosure on the way. I have been looking at the Boston GT28 or GT2300/2400 amplifiers. Each of these are stable at 2 ohms. The GT-28 being the most powerful is what I am interested in. My next question is, can I use a 2 cahnnel amp to run this set up? Since there are actually 4 speakers in the Pro 50 SE set, and the addition of a subwoofer, would I need to run a 4 channel amp? I would like to provide the maximum RMS power to the Pro 50's as well as provide as close to the RMS for the G310. Which amplifier would do this properly? I have a standard truck with a 12V system. I will also be installing a capacitor, I was thinking in the 1Farad range, will this be enough for the type of system I am going to install? There is no factory Boston representative on the island of Guam, and no authorized Boston Dealers here either. I am in the military and don't get back to the states very often, so I'm looking for help. Would I be better off with a 2 channel amp for the Pro 50's and a separate Mono block for the single G310? Please advise, if I can keep it to one amp, I would prefer that, but I want to get the most power to my speakers. Thank you.

Grab this 5 channel. Bridge the front and rear on the components and use the 5th channel for the sub. Be a nice little setup.

Edit: don't bother with a capacitor. If you're having voltage issues after you get the amp in, get a small secondary battery.
