As stated above drop the power to the rears use deck if you want to power them. Personally I have never gone to a concert and stood with my back to the stage, why do it in a car? Any sound coming from the rear should be a reflection from what is played in the front.

If going PG you could get away with a single amp solution.

Current product RSd 500.4 don't let the numbers fool you it is stout.
older product X200.4

Ifyou are going for 2 amps then the options are limitless.

Roadster 66. All in one powerhouse. From what I have read only 500 are/were made.

Check out e-bay as there is one seller with a crazy price of 499 each!!!

Best deal in town if you ask me.

I would have recommended the Roadster 66 or Ti900.7, but unfortunately the sub channels are 2 ohm optimized. With his DVC 4 ohm subs, he has either 1 or 4 ohm.

In this case, a 4 channel amp like Errin suggested makes more sense. The RSD500.4 or X200.4 would be great solutions, while using the deck to quietly power rear fill. With the 4ch amp he can run 2 ohm stereo/4 ohm bridged with the subs.

although even at 4ohms, the roadster will still make 425 watts
