Mandalay knows his $hit!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE SIR!!!

To the OP... please do not take any offense to this:

You are way overthinking this process given the quality of the amp you are using. If you were using all competition level audio equipment, these details would definately matter, but considering you're using very low end equipment, no matter how much thought you put into it, you can only hope to achieve mediocrity. For the tiny cockpit of a MR2, (if you have a half-ass decent head unit) run your speakers off of your head unit and use that amp to run 1 sub. Should be more than enough sound for the tiny car. Make sure that your sub doesn't require tons of power or that little amp won't move it. Personally, I would pawn that amp and step up in quality. If it were me and I were on a budget, I would buy a 5 channel amp like the Alphasonik PMZ12005A or the Hifonics ZXI 8010 (those are the cheapest I would look at though). You could also get some components for the front soundstage, not run any rears (since the cars so small you don't need the rear fill anyway), and get a 3 channel amp to run the whole system, or run the components off of the deck and get a decent mono channel amp...

There's an infinite # of options and possibilities... Despite the fact that quality craftsmanship seems to be on the decline, you typically still get what you pay for.
