Which amp with this setup??

[scoobygsx]

Upgrading my Charger's system..Here's what I'm going to run.

(Sorry, new guy so the forum's limiting how many URLs I can post, otherwise I would post all the links)

Headunit - Pioneer-AVIC-Z120BT

Front door components - Alpine-SPR-13S

Rear 6x9's - Alpine SPR-69C

Free-air sub in the stock location - Pioneer-TS-SW841D

Now with that..I don't know which amp to get. I'm thinking a 4-channel. Have each front door (components) on one channel, then have the sub bridged on the other 2 channels? Then have the rear speakers powered by the HU? The HU only puts out 14 watts continuous RMS..50 watts peak.

I also don't know which RMS I need..all speakers are 4 ohm impedence, the sub's peak handling power is 500w, the components & rear 6x9's are 300w peak handling power. So with all that info..which specs should I be looking for in an amp?

It's also an '06 Dodge Charger with the stock (horrible) Boston Acoustics 6-speaker system...dunno if that helps out or not.

& Please no comments about how I should go with a bigger sub in a custom-made enclosed box...I'm not huge on bass. I listen to mostly alternative & rock with occasional rap. I like my bass clear & punchy..not boomy.

Thanks!!

Go with a 5 channel, several under $300 that would work for you

if you need a small footprint look at the alpine pdx 5 channel, more expensive but very small for the clean power it puts out.

Thanks for the reply. Why a 5-channel? One speaker per channel I'm guessing? Somebody told me the rear speakers really doesn't matter if they're powered or not, as the fronts are the most important...also what wattage (RMS) should I put out to each speaker?
