What is it with all the 5 channel amp questions? Here is my take. Use each amp for Right and Left. Then use the 4 channels for your right stage from one amp, then the other four channels for the Left side. Then use each of the sub channels for your subs...one per sub. So what if you only have 150w per sub. People have done a lot more with less.
If you are not willing to go that route, then consider this. Take out your 14 speakers, take them, and the amps, and sell them. Then take the money from the sale and use it for a very good set of component speakers (2-way only), then purchase yourself a couple of 10's. Now use the rest of the money for Two good amps! One 4 channel amp for your components, and a mono amp with about 500-1000 watts. Wire your two subs mono and then wire to the amp.
You will have a slamming system that will actually sound good.
Jeremy and I are SQ people. If you want really loud, then go with Bill Wolf (BWCad01) here. He is the stud of spl.
That is what I think will work best for you. But then again, I don't know you from Adam, so what is best for you may not be for someone else.
