Question

Right i've pretty much decided/bort most of the ICE i'm guna get but am a tad lost with which amp i'm guna need.
Basic needs r for a 4 channel amp for the front infinity 60.5's which i believe do the 4 ohm thing as well as bridging the other 2 channels 2 power the pair of subs i have now bort in a thread not too far from here In current form they r wired in series for a bridged channel @ 2ohms. Sure they can be redun in parallel for 4 ohms but it'd b preferable to get an amp that'll run 2 ohm with 2 channels bridged
Realistically i'm looking at sub £200 type expense but was havin trubble finding da info which says wot most amps run at when bridged etc From wot i can c Kenwood uns r ok with 2 ohms but still not sure about at exactly wot point they can do 2 ohms & also with their 5 channel uns wot the score is with da ohmage, also saw Infinity RA5004 is "stable with 2 ohm speaker leads" but again little unclear on wot fit the bill.
So 4 channels (2 x 4ohm for front speakers & 2 bridged @ 2 ohms for da subs) & not too expensive (yes i no u get wot u pay 4, etc etc) amp. So any suggestions PLEASE
Any cunning plans will b gr8fully received

PS shud b final question then the newb will b 2 busy deafening himself All going well

FOr the money, I'd look at the Phoenix Gold or Caliber stuff. It's damn good kit for the price, and I think they might be happy with 2 ohm bridged.
