2-channel amps are designed for two speakers and 4-channel amps for 4 speakers. You can usually bridge a 2-channel to one and a 4-channel to two channels. This will half the impedance of whatever the speakers are.
Go to onlinecarstereo.com or woofersect.com to but ur stuff, it depends if u want just ugly sound or u want to have nice sound quality. buy yourself a nice set of audiobahn, orion diamond audio and do ur in cars. Get a small 2 chan amp run the fronts...
I really doubt that it matters. But i'd say JBL or MTX or perhaps you should use ORION amps
