AMP Power: Which one should i get?

I will be picking up the following setup of tweetz/speakers/subs.

I need help in choosing AMPS. I am leaning toward getting two AMP-B's. 1 to power my subs and the other to power the speaker setup. [see below for 3 potential amps]
These products are all from Audiobahn.

Tweeters
-------------
Impedance: 4Ohm
Power Handling: 200 RMS Pair

Front 6.5's
---------------
Power Handing : 90 Watts R.M.S.
PEAK POWER: 180 wATTS
4 Ohm Impedance

Rear 6x9's
-----------
Power Handling: 200W RMS
Peak Power: 400W
Impedence: 4 Ohms

Subs
-------
2 12's
Power Handling: 400W RMS
Peak Power: 800W

Amp Choice
---------------
AMP A: [4Channel]
1200 watts, Intake Series 4-Channel Amplifier
Power Handling RMS:
4 Ohms: 75 watts x 4 chan.
2 Ohms: 150 watts x 4 chan.
4 Ohms Bridged: 300 watts x 2 chan.
Peak Power: 1200 Watts approx.

AMP B: [4Channel]
4-channel car amplifier
50 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (100 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)
200 watts RMS x 2 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)
Peak Power: 800 Watts approx

AMP C: [2Channel]
4 Ohm Stereo 150 Watts X 2
2 Ohm Stereo 210 Watts X 2
4 Ohm Mono 420 Watts X 1
Peak Power: 840 Watts

Thanks,

jeev

are the tweeter and mid bass a combo??
if so you'll prob see 4 ohm at the cross-over

if not??? why, you'll need a 4 channel for them unless running a c/o
and then another for your rears, and then another for your subs

i'd not recommend any of those amps to drive the subs
what subs are they??
dual 2 or 4 or just single v/c
it's stuff ya need to know before deciding

cuz what i see now from what you have listed is possibly a 4 channel for the fronts, a 2 channel for the rears and another for the subs
having components up front will drop that one amp to a 4 channel and another for the subs
the power ratings too are looking kinda facked....your tweeters are gonna need to be pushed more than the mids to level them out

okay.

Then i'm gonna forget the tweetz. no point adding an amp just for the tweetz.

the 6.5's come with removable tweets. so i'll use that.

can i use the 4 channel to power the front and rear speakers and then another for the subs?

can't i use the 2-channel amp as a 4ohm bridged into 1 channel?

yes, that's what i would do...
can't i use the 2-channel amp as a 4ohm bridged into 1 channel?
you could, but you're under-powering those subs big time imo..and it's dependant on the load of the subs...2 ohm or 8 ohm??

What i am going to do is use the 4-channel then for the FR AND REAR speakers.

Then use another 4-channel amp to power my subs - I can bridge the 4 channels into 2 channels and so have 1 channel per sub. [ my sub is composed of 2 12s] i can bridge it into 2 channels with 4 ohms and my subs can be powerd with 4ohm stereo?
