Guys I need help Choosing an amp for this speakers setup; PLEASE HELP!!

1. need to know If this amp would be ample to run these speakers efficently....

MTX Thunder 4244
to run these speakers..

(1) 6.5" Alpine Type S Pair Speakers in Front Door

(1) 6.5" Alpine Type S Pair Speakers in Rear Door

And

(1) Alpine Type S 6x9's on the Back Deck

2. Is it even possible to run 3 sets of speakers on a 4 channel amp?

Just incase it matters; I do have one Alpine Type-R 12" Sub in the trunk powerd by its own MTX Thunder 6500 Amp

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY/ALL HELP!!!

I just need it to do the trick; nothing EXTRAVAGANT and i was planning on somehow using the rear doors and rear deck to share a channnel and have the front on ITS own channel. I dont know if that makes a difference....??



If this isn't a good way to go.... What should i be looking for then if not that (to aid in my search for a better amp)

It can be done....but your front channels will be bridged down to less of an ohm load. I'd email mtx, and make sure you can run 2 ohm front load and 4 ohm rear load and make sure the amp won't fry. If they say its ok, just run your 2 sets of fronts inline to you front channels of your amp.

Nah man it'll work. You need to run the 6.5s off of the same channel pair (not good to mix two diff speakers on the same amp channel). That will present a 2 ohm load to those channels, and ~30watts per speaker. Hook the 6x9s to the other pair, they will get 45watts each @ 4ohms. No problem.

Okay; that auction ended without me making up my mind... So this is what I think I've settled on... Tell me if this seems plausable....

i'm gonna run this amp
MTX Thunder 4244

to power my front 6.5" Speakers and the Rear Deck's 6x9s... And Im going to run the rear speakers off of the stock amp.

Of course the Sub will have its own mono amp.

Plus now I'm gonna need a Capacitor since i'm getting to subs...

that Audiobahn In particular...

can someone please tell me if this is going to work? I really belive it will based on the limited audio knowledge I have... but can anyone just confirm it for me? Please? kthx.

If you need a cap, loook at the alumapros. From what I hear, they are the best. I have a 5 farad, and its TINY compared to regular caps, and I've NEVER had a problem pushing 2 very large amps. They are very much worth looking in to.
