single amp system

Hey guys, I'v got a bit of a milti question today. So im putting together a system for my new 2000 mustang, which many know doesnt allow for much trunk space. Currently i have an older Alpine deck which gets me by for now, and Hertz hsk components in the front looking for about 125 watts rms. Originaly i was looking for a 4 channel amp that could power the components and a quality sub. The rears i was planing on running off the deck. My biggest troubble right now is finding a quality sub that would work fine off the 200-300watts that most 4 channel amps would put out bridged. I have had my eye on the Kappa Four which would put out 300w bridged at 4ohms. I recently stumbled across the JL 6600 6 channel amp that would put out a decent 75w times 6, along with many nice features. Any tips or ideas on how you would arange your best sound quality system with a single amp would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

I would stick with the 4 channel idea, that way when u decide to upgrade with more bass/power you wont be stuck with a 5 channel amp. U will still be able to utilize your 4 channel for highs and you can choose whatever u like for your sub/s.

i agree not to get stuck with the 5 channel in case you want to upgrade in the future.

for a decent sub/amp package that will save you tons of trunk space and still sound amazing,

Alpine PDX 4.150 w/ Image Dynamic IDQ

then I would say just don't run the rears.

you will be giving your fronts what they want, still have around 300-350rms for the sub.
and that amp/sub is a very very efficient setup, and doesn't take up alot of space.
