I'm looking at using a 4 channel amp that passes 220 x 4 at 4 0hm.

MY front speakers are infiniti kappa 3 way coaxials.. 75rms.. and i have an audiobahn single 12 inch sub that can handle 400 rms..

if i use this amp.. will it be too much for the speakers? And can i bridge the remaining two channels to power the single sub?

thanks in advance :-)

"220 x 4 at 4 0hm"

what make/model amke?
is that an RMS power rating or peak/max?
If that's a class AB amp and an RMS power rating, that amplifier is going to be drawing over 100A of current at full output at 4 ohms. more if you bridge two channels to that sub. that amp would be massive.. probably over 2 feet long with active cooling.
