I have a friend that can get Eclipse products at a discount so if I were to have these speakers (info below) what would be a good choice for an amp? I am not really sure what to look for so I came to seak some advice. I have a Pioneer DEH-P5500 head unit and I also have 3 10 inch Rockford Punch at 4ohms each and 100 watts RMS and 200 watts Peak. And would it be better to only use 2 of the subs rather than all three? And how would all of this fair in comparison to other things. I guess what I am asking is this discount gonna be worth it in the long run. Thanks for the help.

Good little HU there.Nice features, but modest internal amps. (22 watts RMS x 4) at 4 ohms. It also has 2 pair of RCA outputs. (FR,FL,RR,LR) No sub outs per-se. About 2 volts output at RCA line level.
A 5 channel amp may be a good option here:
1. PA-3532
40 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms
120 watts RMS @ 2 ohms for subs
2. PA-5532
50 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms
280 watts RMS @ 2 ohms for subs
NOTE: 2 subs are all you can use with either amp as you are limited to a 2 ohm minimum load. Keep one sub as a spare.
