Adcom GFA5500 2ohm stable? & house wirinig

Any suggestions on what amps I should consider? I only paid $400 for my amp.... probably can't go much more then $1000 for whatever I would buy. I have had my eyes on sunfire stuff.... how are their amps? I saw they have a amp that's 600x2?

awesome.... thanks for the input everyone!!!

My car audio adcom stuff is stable below .5 ohms but I didn't think their home amps were built like that. I guess I need to either get 2 subs that will allow the channels to run at 4ohms.... or fund a different amp to buy which is definantly a option. I only have 1 gfa-5500 now & maybe instead of buying a 2nd adcom I should look elsewhere

So 2 20amp lines is what I will do .... & thanks for the tip on the better grade outlets!!!!

yea... used is what I plan on doing!!

Room size is 13 across x 21 long with 8ft ceilings. 15ft of one side opens up to another room & about half of the back wall opens up as well. My girlfriend is moving in with me & we are combining stereo's.

Presently she has a 10yr old yamaha receiver (my denon is 16yrs old) which will be upgraded in a year to something.... cross that bridge when I get there. My speakers are better then her's so we are using these....

Main speakers Infinity Kappa 8.1 vII's
Rear surrounds Infinity Kappa 8.1VII's
Center Infinity Kappa Video (& I hope to do 7.1 with same Kappa Video's on side of room)

each front Kappa 8.1 will have a parasound amp powering it & the rear 8.1's will share a amp. Not sure the model but around 200w per channel (girlfriends amps).

Sub-not 100% sure on what I will be using, we are redoing my house & not sure exactly how much room I have to work with. Either a pair of 12's or a pair of 15's is what I want to use.

hoefully that helps....

Are parasound amps any good? I thought those amps are better then my adcom so I was planning on using those to power my speakers. Would I be better off to purchase a new/used amp to run my kappa 8.1 main speakers.... & then do a sub at a later date? Or use the parasound amps for the subs & all surround speakers & buy something better for the mains..... ??

I was planning on trying a pair of Image Dynamics IDQ drivers however a few people have steered me to 15" Tempest-X or th 12 in Shiva-X which they claim will perform better & cost me less. I am not sold on buying a prebuilt sub enclosure/amp due to how small the enclosures are & also being stuck to whatever amp is provided. I am trying to determine how much room I have to build a box & also waiting on the new specs for the tempest-x that is suppose to be released in a few weeks.

I also thought I could always try my Adcom & when I can afford to get something better for the subs I could upgrade at a later date? I thought giving my main speakers the best amp is my best bet....

Yea, I am definantly not rushing into it. I have a friend who is going to make the enclosure for me (he's doing the entire entertainment cntr) & when I know how much room I have to play with I will then decide on which sub.

I guess I will have a better idea when the amps are hooked up what I should do. I have also heard great things about bryston amps & finding one of their amps used might be a option but due to their cost that will be a while.

That is a good idea though, using my adcom for something else..... like if I do end up with 7.1 they could be used on the kappa video's.
