Hey, I would like to know what kind of amplifiers would i need to power the following configuration of speakers!

CASE 1:

6 x tops (3 on each ch)                    
LF: 2 x 12" 1000w 8 ohms
MF: 4 x 6" 800w	8 ohms
HF: 2 x 2" 200w 8 ohms

3 x dual 18" subs (1000 w 8 ohms each driver)

CASE 2:

same as case 1 but with 4 x tops (2 on each row) and 2 x dual 18" subs

I understand I need to bi-amp the system so please let me know what kind of amps i would need for both the tops and the subs in each case, I am looking for general amp specification that would match this speaker config but make and model would also be helpful.

	We could give you advice based on numbers and say use 1.5x-2x watts per channel but do you have a specific design of top and sub you are using and with amps are you wanting to buy new or used ??
