OK folks heres the scenario I've got the Clarion double-din head unit, kenwood t203 tweets, the kappa 652.1i, kenwood kfc 6907 6x9s and two MTX roadthunder 8" boxes in the rear. The MTXs are running off a cheapie jensen 220w amp. Now my question is this: I want to hook up the doors, tweets and 6x9s to a amp and leave the MTXs on the jensen. Can I get by with a 2 channel amp or do I need a 4 channel?

I had a 2 channel amp running my compnent set and a 2 channel amp running my subs and never had any problems. As long as u dont plan on hooking up the rear speakers then a 2 channel amp should be fine.

you want to go with a 4 channel amp.
You will want to wire the tweets in parallel with the door speakers then wire the rears to the other two channels. You could get by with a 2 ch but then you can't tune in the rears correctly and you will also have no fader control.E-mail me if you need any help with wiring the system up.unless of course you wire the rears to the head unit.yuck

Oops mis read that. Yeah gearheads right for a 6 speaker set up a 4 channel amp is best to use. Something that is like 35 watts per channel would be fine.
