i dont actually have an amp yet but i was looking at the infinity 6 channel. Its like 18x12x3. I was going to bridge channel 1 and 2 for one front component set, channel 3 and 4 for the other front component set, and 5 and 6 for a SVC sub.
Thats the only way i could get 100w to each speaker (which most components RMS is 100-125w) and still get enough power to the amp (i think the infinity bridges to 287w for the sub)

a) if you have a stealth box and are planning on usnig the stock center cover, your amp will have a tendency to overheat, especially somthing as monsterous as a 6x100w amp.
b) if you're not going to use the cover, the amp will be out in the open (defeating the idea of a stealthy install)
Concerning the sub setup, a single quality 10" sub will provide you with plenty of bass. I reccomend the JL10w6 for truly outstanding low end response. While the dual 10" setup looks very cool, the airspace avalible in the dual 10" box rarely comes close to the manufactuer's reccomndation for a sealed enclosure. (which results in a lack of deep bass) 8" subs are okay, but even the best 8" sub just can't move that much air and the result is a lack of that powerful feeling most people seek in a subwoofer.
