Amp adjusting, One last question Options

[mikecelica]

Everything is installed finally, just had one more question, about adjusting the amp. I have:

Deck (52W Max power, 17W RMS X 4-channels, 4 ohms)
Amp (800W Max Power, 125W x 2 RMS into 4 ohms, 340W x 1 RMS into 4 ohms)
4 Speakers (200W Max power,4 ohms, 50W RMS each
One Sub (600W Max Power, 150W RMS, 4 ohms)

Currently the speakers are connected to the deck, and the sub is connected to the amp, but when I turn the volume loud the bass gets distorted, not clean bass).
Should I put in a 4 channel amp for the speakers? What should I set the gain of the current amp thats connected to the sub at, with this info? Since gain level is supposed to match RMS from the deck to the amp.

Thanks for any help

So the remote wire (that tells the amp when to turn ON) and the power wire SHOULDN'T be close to each other? Or should? From the amp (which is in the trunk), all the wires are taped together and go from the trunk, under the seats and under the center console, then the remote wire and rca wire go up into the deck and the power wire thru the firewall to the battery. Should I re-route the remote wire thru the door sills or somehting?

So based on that specs info what should the gain be set at for nice deep CLEAN bass with least distortion?

And should I add a 4-channel amp for the speakers? Since the deck is only delivering 17W rms X 4 when the speakers each can handle 50W RMS.
thanks for the help.
