I have a 2000 GL3 coupe and Im going to install a system in it. I have already selected the woofers, door speakers, and the rear speakers that i want off of audiosavings.com. I just wanted to see if any of you guys had suggestions for it and im interested in getting an AMP for it but Im unsure which type to get so i would appreciate it if one of you could point me in the right direction.

Front door speakers:

I would run the same impedance for front and rear speakers, that way you can get a 4 channel amp and run them all off the same thing.

well for the subs i would get a mono or 1 channel amp and for the speakers a 2 or 4 channel amp. I would run atleast 4 gauge power and ground wire. 12 gauge speaker and subwoofer wire. Last do not get a capacitor just do the big three upgrade. when buying the power and ground wire buy a spool of 4 gauge so you will have enough for the big three. I would also get a fused distribution block so u can run 4 gauge into one end and a split so you can run both amps. right now is have 2 amps hooked up one for subs and one for mids and highs but i am running 0/1 gauge wire. you want an amp that will give the subs good power but not to danger them to blow.

Ummmm makes no difference. He can run these 4 speakers on a 4 channel amp utilizing all 4 channels without issue.

12 ga. wire for the speakers is huge overkill. 16-14 ga is just fine. 12 ga wont hurt anything, but your wallet.

For a sub amp you will want something in the 600-800 WRMS @ 2 Ohm range. In a class D mono amp you will be looking for 1200 WRMS-1600 WRMS (odd ball) @ 1 Ohm. You will find out that this is going to cost you a little bit of cash.

If you want low dough the RE REx 12's are pretty awesome subs.
