I think you'll be much happier with multiple amps. Sounds like your going to want at least 1000 watts, if not more, to your 4 12's. Not going to get that out of too many multichannels out there.
You might be surprised how well your mids and highs can keep up. My installer has 3 12's on 1600 watts RMS in his acura, backed up by 4 6 1/2's on a 4x50 running 4 ohms on all channels (he didn't buy my 'no rear fade or rear speakers argument, either
). He hits 144 ish on my Termpro, and hit 152 on a 3055 once, but you can sing along a block away. I've got another customer with 4 12's on 4000 watts, backed up by 2 6 1/2's and 2 5 1/4's on about 300 watts. Doesn't have much midbass, but song lyrics are very clear, even at 149db.
What are you going to do for power? Lots of people skip the battery / alternator steps, and wonder why their systems don't work out well.
