Default Need help choosing a 4 channel amp

Right now, I have 4 6.5" PPI speakers (these ones from this site). They're rated at 85 watts RMS and 170 peak. Currently I have them running off the factory stereo. I have a Rockford Fosgate monoblock running my 12" sub right now thats running off of a line output converter. So I need a crossover too, right? Would my system get connected like this:



- LOC -> 3 way (6 channel) crossover

- Crossover -> 4 channel amp

- Crossover -> monoblock amp

- 1 in, 4 out Power distribution block to power the crossover and 2 amps

- 1 in, 4 out ground wire block

- remote wire spliced with 3 separate remote turn on wires



Question 1

The 3 way crossover has 3 inputs (high, mid, sub) so how do you connect the LOC to it? The LOC just has one set of RCA cables, so do I connect it to one specific input only?



Question 2

What do you guys recommend for a good 4 channel amp thats rated to at least 85 watts RMS for my speakers?

Wow! Big question here!



Well, they do make 6 channel LOCs.



Crutchfield



Or, you could use one with an EQ built in.



Amazon



As for amps, maybe consider a quality 5 channel. JL makes some nice I ones.

Might be a lot easier to get a 5 channel. I had a Soundstream 5 channel amp in the Tiburon when I had it, and it was great. Minimal space, and plenty of power to run the entire sound system.
