Amps for under the seats

Time to start planning out a new system for the 02 MCS. Here is what i will be using:

Pioneer DEH-P7700MP 50Wx4 Single CD Head Unit
Pioneer CD-IB100-2 IPOD Interface
Front- Infinity Kappa 50.7 cs 6.25 in Component Speakers
Rear- Infinity Kappa 693.7i 6x9 Speakers

I will need a 4 channel amp to drive the Infinity Kappas already installed and then a bass amp to push 2 shallow mount subs. The idea is to mount the amps under the seats and then put the two subs in the back so they will be flush with the GP rear seat delete. Anybody out there have any suggestions about what two amps will not only fit, but will have the power to get the job done? Any good suggestions for the shallow mount subs? Thanks for any help given

I have the Focal Solid 4 and 1’s mounted under my front seats. Very high quality amps, small (for class A/B) and problem free.

Alpine PDX 4.100, its a tiny digital amp.

I have this amp powering similar kappas and it sounds great. Remember to use speaker baffles.

I would use an Alpine PDX-5 amp. It's a five channel amp so you would save space and weight by elimination the subwoofer amp.

Thanks for the suggestions. I checked these out and they all look great. I think the PDX-5 is a good idea, but we currently have a 1600 watt amp on the sub now and I'm afraid it wouldn't thump the same
