You could always bridge the amp so that it puts out 100 watts rms to the Rockfords and power your pioneers with the deck. Or you could just power the rockfords with 100 watts rms and disconnect the pioneers in the rear. Just a few options..

Those Rockfords are bi-ampable as well.....you can use a 4 channel on them.

I think that's what loudtdi is talking about. The nice thing about 4 channel amps is that you have some flexibility. If you want to power 4 speakers you can or you can just run 2 with more power etc..

so i went to my local stereo shop and asked to hear some components. all they had was some clarions and some kaptions hooked up. so they started talking to me about amps and stuff and they tried to hook me with a set of clarion 4x6's with a 45 watt rms and said they will out preform anything in that price range (higher 200's). the thing that pisses me off most is that they said that any 4 channel amp will only have 45 watts rms anyway and the only way they could have have 200 wats or something crazy like that is if lighting struck it. please correct me if im wrong as im new to car stereos but the bottom line is they jsut told me a bunch of bullshit right?
