Looking for help again on my Audio, my poor spot!!!. I really want to avoid having to pay an installer 400 bucks or so. A few of you helped me out with wiring up my mono amp to my dual subs awhile back and I was able to get them wired up correctly and they sound much better, but as I indicated in that thread, the 4 channel amp for my door speakers was having issues and yesterday it finally burnt out and is officially a toaster.

With that said, since I intend to change the mono amp in the future and need to choose a new amp for the doors now, I am wondering if I should just go with 5 channel for everything, rather than having two separate amps. probably don't plan on changing any of my speakers, just the receiver eventually and these amps. I know I should probably be picking a new receiver first, but that still has to wait. Eventually it will probably be one of the Pioneer double dins in the $400-$500 range.
So, now that the Kicker DXA250.4 amp is blown out after just under a year for what reason I cannot figure out, gain on it was barely moved up, time to replace. Anyhow looking for recommendations on moving to 5 channel or continuing with another 4 channel.
Here are the door and sub speaker specs and I may want to amp up my dash speakers by running them in parallel to the front doors in the future. For now, they have always been hooked up to the receiver directly. With this change, I will be moving amp(s) behind the back seat, so I'll be running all new wiring for the entire setup, maybe I'll find a culprit to my burning amp issue in the process. Any recommendations on amp(s) would be appreciated.
Also, I am not trying to build a crazy high end system here, so not looking for a $3-$4k setup when I am done. Just trying to keep it simple and clean. Thanks
