[QUOTE="jwayne, post: 8809225, member: 686567"] Hello, just a heads up I'm extremely new to car audio and really need some help picking the right stuff to buy. I'm running on a pretty low budget, but I want to do the best I can with the money I have. So the speakers I have right now that I want to run is one 12" 4 ohm woofer (KFC-W120SVC) that's rated for 250w RMS and 1000w max, 2 KFC-6966R at 45w rms and 400w max in the rear, and 2 JBL 6.5" Club 6520 at 50w RMS and 150w max in the front (which are labeled as 3ohm(?) on the JBL website). I would like to be able to run all of it without having to buy 2 different amps, so I read up on 5 channel amps. I've seen boss a lot and found a boss PV3700 on ebay. The specs on Boss' website says it will run up to 206w RMS x 4 @ 4ohms, and on the 5th channel it will run up to 563 RMS @ 4ohms.
