Default System Help Needed

I have not decided if I should just bridge the Olympus to 2 channel to give ALOT of power (more than is rated--COMPS rated at 125 rms/175 peak, but can give 400 rms---all at 4 ohms--with amp bridged, or can run the amp 4 channel at 125 rms a channel) to the comps, or give the extra 2 channels to some rear speakers???? That is a big question, and the question here. I will hardly ever use the dvd feature, mostly just music, but would like to do the setup right.



What is your opinions on RCA's? I know I need to get those still, and probably an alternator.


Also what rca's I need depends on if I am going to do 2 channel or 4 channel off of that amp. The 2000 peak/1000 rms amp has 2 80 amp fuses, but the 4000 peak/2000 rms amp has no exposed fuses.

Setup:

Components: Directed Viper 650.2's

Here are some specs on the decoder:

5.1ch Dolby Digital/DTS/2ch MPEG Decoder Built In

Gold-Plated 5.1ch Pre-Output Terminals (Front L/R + Rear L/R + Center + Subwoofer)

Gold-Plated AV Output Terminals

Gold-Plated AV Input Terminals (x 2 pairs)



About the rear speaker:

• : Adjust the center image
so it may be heard only from the center
speaker, only from the left/right front
speakers as a “phantom” center image, or
various combinations of these speakers.
As the number increases, the “phantom”
effect becomes stronger. (Normally select
“4.”) To cancel it, select “OFF.”


here is the guide:

Afraid of 2 things: 1) taking away power to the comps (still would be getting the proper power though if I did do 4x125 at 4 ohms instead of 2x400 at 4 ohms bridged); 2) it not sounding right for straight audio purposes....
Plus I do not know the "TYPE" of speaker (driver, midbass, full range) to put back there...
