Need some decision help on system setup
I have a Kenwood 998 head unit and Kicker CS 6 1/2 speakers. 3 sets, 1 in fairing, 1 in lowers and 1 in tour pack pods.
Looking at the SS PN4.520D amp and possibly SS PN2.350D for rear.
My question is how to hook them up.
Do I run one 4 channel amp, putting the 4 front speakers (wired in parallel) on 2 channels (2 ohm load) and the 2 rears (4 ohm load) on the other channel?
Or
2 amps, splitting the front channel RCA signal to a 4 channel amp, 4 ohm load to each speaker. And rear channel to 2 channel amp and 4 ohm load to speakers.
Or
2 amps, PN2.350D. Front speakers wired in parallel for 2 ohm load on 1 amp and the rear speakers would be at 4 ohms on other amp.
Hope I am not overthinking all this, just can't figure out which way to go. All this going into 03 ultra.

Spend $50 bucks more and get the Soundstream 1000D. Run your fairing and lowers in parallel of the front channels. Run your rear speakers off the back channel.
THIS! While not a fan of the SS amps anymore, I will say if you're going to run one, Gann is on point.

Why no love for the soundstreams? What amps do you prefer these days?
