if you want a serious system that will save you a bit of cash, save the money that you would spend on rears + amp and invest in nicer front speakers, that can cover the frequency response between your 12's up.

saying that, I would run a 2 amp system, since there is no 4 channel amp that will give you a decent amount of power for 3 12's and have a reasonable amount of power for your front speakers.

THAT said, I would taylor the amp for the woofers, youll need to tell me what you plan to run before i can reccommend an amp for that....

as for your fronts, any decent 2 channel amp will do, just pick how much power you want. 50x2? 75x2? 85x2? 100x2? also kinda depends on your speakers, you dont wanna put sony xplod coaxials on 100x2, and you might be dissatisfied putting a 25x2 amp on a set of earthquake components.

but i would definitely run a two amp system.

what speakers do you plan on running?

CrankinCivic is an unknown quantity at this point
a few things you can do .. get a big *** cap ( like the 50 farad bit$H) and you can get 4 amps , or 2 ... depends on the subs , and money situation ... i would as a professional get a big bad *** amp for your subs .. then one for your internals ... xplode amps and speakers are exactly that .. i hate those things almost as much as i like profile or custic !
