What amp(s)? Alpine type r 8" and front coax.

Looking for amp suggestions. Been out of the audio scene for awhile. 5 channel amps are new to me, is there anything on the market that can do 350-400 rms at 1 ohm, and still be able to give me 2x75 ish (haven't decided on front stage yet) at 4 ohms? Or should I run two seperate amps? On my setup years ago I had an active front stage and separate amps for my sub stage and front stage

Is a 5 channel amplifier worth it if I have no plans ever of running any rears (it's in a pickup)?

looking to stick to coax because I want everything to look at stock as possible I don't want to have to mount tweeters somewhere separate

Or should I just run two seperate Amps?

And I'll add, any benefit to a 5 channel besides space saving? Space isnt entirely an issue I have my sub box drawn up for underneath the rear seat of my truck, still designing the amp rack but whatever space I don't use for ampsWill be turned into a hideaway storage space.

There are plenty of 5ch amps now days. The budget yet still solid ones run around $200. Ppi 900.5, nvx, polk, soundstream etc. There are certainly better.

Also, if you only need 2x75 up front, you could easily run a 4ch and bridge rears at 4ohm rather than 1ohm. Ppi ion 520.4 would do well, around 120$
