those front component speakers will need to be amplified to get the most out of them.

but to answer your question any headunit with 2 pre outs.
Having said that you could get away with just 1 preout and use Y splitters.

to be honest if i was you i would wait a month because March is the time when all the companys will launch their new headunit models. i know that alpine in particular have some very special units lined up.

first off what corsa are these going in B, C, or a D ?

speaker wise i would go for a set of rainbow 265 deluxe and amp them with a 2 channel amp

As fopr the subs go for 1 decent 12" sub rather than 2 cheaper subs and run that off a decent mono block amp

comps

amp for the comps (4ch amp but wire it in bridged mode)

12" sub

Mono amp

that will give up a nice first setup. buy cheap buy twice

flash you obviously know your stuff
but if you bridged the channels on that amp to run them comps they would blow up lol
it would be fun to watch though

i can vouch for the rainbows, really good speakers
and the alpine sub and amp sound really nice

errr yes you can bridge most 4ch amps to 2/3 channels buy bridging them so the amp produces more power (you prob new that anyway its also a cheaper way to get more power)

i have them rainbows in my corsa thats why i reccomended them not a big fan of jbl stuff but i did have a 75.4 amp

edit. the f250 will run in bridged mode no probs the rainbows will handle 90w rms no problem if you run then in when new i run mine at 65-70w rms

pic out of the f250 manual
