Need some expert advice, pls.

As the title stated, I am not an expert at sound systems so any advice is really helpful. This is my setup right now.

HU:
Alpine cda9813 w/ 4 volts pre-out; 1 set fronts, 1 set rears, 1 set sub pre outs.

Amps:
one 2-channel fosgate 75.2 35.7 rms x 2 @ 4 Ohm continous 150 rms x 1 @ 4Ohm Mono

one 4-channels fosgate 500x 62.5 rmsx4 @4Ohm cont.; 250rmsx2 @4Ohm

Speakers:
Front BA comp. SX60 6.5" 65rms peak 200watts
Rear Eclispe 6x9 unknown
Sub 10" MTX Blue Thunder 250-300 rms

Currently, I am running the front comp. off channel 1&2 and sub bridged channel 3&4 onto fosgate 500x. The fronts preouts to channels 1&2 and sub preout to channels 3&4. Now, the rear Eclispe speakers are running off from the 2- channel amp. The rear preout is connetted to the 2-channel amp.

Just wander if this set up would maximize the power of the amps. Please any advice is greatly apprecieated. Thanks

Yes it looks like you are maximizing the power of those amps. As long as everything is installed/tuned properly you should have a nice sounding system there.

IMHO i would set it up a bit different. I would use the components and the rear fill for the 4 channel, annd bridge the 2 channel for the sub. BUt in your case...the sub need the 250 rms from the 4 channel bridged. IMHO, i would rid of the rear fill and just gut out that second amp. Just use the 4 channel with the front comp. and the subs for that amp. and you can wire the rear speakers to the stock amp and just use an xover to mute it a bit. OR you can bi wire your front comps. Which is basically running every part of your comps on one channel for an amp. So basically you are going to use 4 channels for the front and 1 channel for the sub.

I think I gonna keep this set up for now. Maybe I 'll change it later in near future. Thanks for the great advice though.
