Is a 4ch 600 watt amp enough to power 2 10" kenwood kfc-w2505 600 watts and my infinity tower speakers? Ive been looking for somekind of a system for a while now but I just dont know a thing about systems. I also dont want to dump a load of $$$$$$

a 4 channel 600 watt amp will be splitting the 600 watts into roughly 150 (or less) per channel. You'd be running 150 watts to each of the 600 watt Kenwoods, and throwing 150 watts at each tower pod...

This afternoon i hooked up my new system. I have a 4ch 500 watt Sony amp and one 10" sony sub and some 6x9's and 6.5's. The sub is connected to 2 of the channels. The hi's coming out of the little speakers are pretty loud but i thought the sub would hit much harder than it actually does.
If you want the subs to hit hard you should run 2 amps that size.
I didn't do mine like that so i wouldn't have to run a second battery.
I have yet to lake test mine but i think it will be fine for what i'm looking for.

I have a 1200 sony Xplode sunning /bridged/mono for 1 12 Inch Soundstream sub. I run my tower speakers 2 6.5 Alpine 2 way 200 Watts with a 800 watt Kenwood Amp. The other 6 6.5 Soundstream speakers are powered in series by the radio Sony 50X4. The 6.5 only run midrange and highs no bass,so I get more out of them.

One battery:
If I were you I would get either a 4 Channel amp bridge one channel for your sub and the other channel run it in series to your other speakers.
Two batteries:
Now if you want to go all out get a 4 channel amp for your 6x9 & 6.5 speakers and a 2 Channel Amp for your Subwoofer and another battery.

Remember the key for clarity is to run 2x more in midrange than subs.
Drop me a line if you need additional help
