You can use a 2 channel to run them because of the supplied crossover that works fine or:

You can use a 4 channel bridged to 2 channel to optimize the power available out of most marketed full range amplifies I'm familiar with (assuming your component set is 4 ohm nom so you can bridge it at 4 ohm to the 4 channel to get essentially 2 channels @ 2 ohms) or:

You can use a 4 channel with an active crossover before the amplifier to bi-amp the components.. my personal favorite....

Depends on what you want to do with it? Maybe more of an answer than you were looking for...

ok, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. So if im running 2 components a 2 channel would work fine then? Also how would I wire up 2 components on each door?
