Default Amp?

I was happy with the fosgate amp i had for my last car. What type of amp..channels..(im still a newbie) would i need to power my 4 front speakers which im gonna purchase the infinity kappas. I am also going to eventually get one or two subs (10's) for the trunk. I have a Pioneer headunit.

Thanks

Im gonna do the infinity components in front and the 3 way infinitys in the back. Im just looking for an amp that will be able to handle these now as well as some 10's in the future.

You're better off getting an amp for them and the amp for the 10s when you get the 10s.. I'm in the process of looking for amps right now to match my Bostons... And realizing that a few years out of the market is too long.. trying to relearn what's out there myself.....

fosgates are still pretty decent, PPI arent as popular as before, jl has always retained their loyal customers...and other good brands you hear of that are bang for the buck are Zapco, Xtant, US Acoustics, kicker....

mid/higher end, then you get into McIntosh, ARC audio, Phoenix Gold

like i said, it all really depends on your budget, i got my jl500/1 for my 10w7 for 380, and 300/4 for my components for 360....just to give you an idea

not a good idea to power four speakers and sub with one amp. i would use one sub for you speakers and one for your sub. I am currently using three amps. One for the fronts, ones for the rear, and one for the sub. Talk with your installer for more detail on why its better to run two amps rather than one for your whole system.
