Default 4 - 2- 1

My buddy is getting ready to put a stereo in his regular cab truck. We were discussing how space efficient it would be to have a 4 channel amp, 2 components (one set), and 1 sub. Mid grade Focal components and an Image Dynamics 10" or 12" sub were mostly mentioned.

What is a good 4 channel amp that would work well for this setup?

Thanks

wut kind of power can the speakers and sub handle? id say that youll wanna use a bridgeable amp tho so that youll run each speaker off of their own channels then run the sub off of the bridged channel

The components probably would be 80 watts RMS while the sub would be either 500 watts RMS for a 10" or 750 watts RMS for a 12"

the JBL GTO-3EZ seems to fit the bill. run it thru google. heres the stats-

•3-Channel GTO Series Class AB/D Car Amplifier
•RMS Power Rating:
◦4 ohms: 50 watts x 2 chan. + 350 watts x 1 chan.
◦2 ohms: 75 watts x 2 chan. + 500 watts x 1 chan.
◦Bridged, 4 ohms: 150 watts x 1 chan.
•Max power output: 1050 watts x 1 chan.

Great find! Thanks man

That should fit nicely under the passenger seat. I hope that the quality is good.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to consider some Infinity components (which run at 2 ohms) in order to utilize the 75 watts RMS versus the 50 watts RMS..........
