What kind of music you listen to? Most of the time I listen to Salsa and pretty much Latin music, which happen to have lots of instruments performing simultaneously. Not very many songs have synth in em so having the highs and mids playing up front works very well for me since I get to hear all of the instruments as well as the singer/s on the background. LMAO, so no headache here.

It'd probably be easier to run one 4-channel amp than two 2-channel amps. A decent 4-channel usually isn't much more expensive than a 2-channel anyway. But if you do go the two amp route, I'd suggest amping your fronts first instead of the rears.

Where else would mids/highs be played at or from, the trunk? Is there a genre of music out there that benefits from having no mids being played in the front at all and no highs being played from the rears at all?

I would also suggest one four channel amp for all the speakers.... I run nothing but profile amps... there cheap and are awesome! Im running 3 currently with no probs. As for the bass thing... I also listen to rap/hiphop and the bass can get pretty intense some times and the only reason I took out the bass from my speakers is so i dont blow them, and especially when I have a 3000 watt sub to do that kinda hard work!

Ps. crutchfield.com sells those profile amps... I have 4 speakers running off the AP700 4 channel amp of theres!
Hope this helps

You might want to check on some class D amps. They are a bit more EXPENSIVE but they are worth the money. They don't get as hot and draw a bit less power from the electrical system.

Eh, class D isn't really necessary for a full range amp since they're generally lower power. Plus, they have more distortion than a class A/B would have.
