What would you recommend for a 4 speaker setup with horns up front?

Gonna need to know what ohm & watt speakers ur gonna have before deciding on what ohm rating amp to purchase. Mainly the ohm as the 1200 will feed most.
W an efficient set of speakers u could prob do and 800.4 and a 250.4 for the horns.

So the mmats 6.5s, and pioneer 6x9s are 4 ohm.
The horns are 8 ohm.

So, maybe the sd 800.4s for the 6.5s and 6x9s and a second amp for the horns? Can I make it fit in the fairing?

2 amps in the fairing is easy.
