Also im gonna get 2 sets of mids , and if that guy was correct is there a way i could make get an amp that is bridgable at 300 wtts @4ohms and split that by 4 ? and give each mid 75 watts ? plus I was gonna hook the powere from the deck to tha mids as well. Also how would i be able to bridge this amp to feed 4 diff mids and how would i be able to bridge the other one to feed the 2 subs ??? Please reply soon

What do you mean split 300 Watts @ 4ohm into 4. You can't really split 300 watts into 4 or 75 watts. You can use series but each midrange will be out of phase of each other by 60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, etc.. You will soon notice when you first play one note of music. To use series connection I suggest you use with a dual voice woofer. This makes your subwoofer have two seperate outputs. One output will be in-phase with the front and 60 degrees out of phase with the surround or rear speakers.

Another thing, midranges or mids are a little louder because our ears are most sensitive in that area. You can use a 4 X 50 watt or 4 channels 50 watt amplifier and still it will be loud enough.

For the subs I suggest you buy a seperate amplifier around 200 watts or over. You said your subs or woofers power rating is 200 watts - 400 watts. If all amps clip buying a over rated amplifier for the subs will decrease clipping thereby decrease the chance of burn out of the voice coil. Clipping is when a amp excedes its ratings by pushing more watts but with added distortion into the audio.
