which one should i use to power my phoenix gold speakers. a 2, multi or mono channeled amp?

i wouldn't use monoblocks because they usually are built for subs. they only play low frequency notes so it wouldn't be best for your speakers. as for the 2 channels and the multi, i don't think it really matters. it's all personal preference from there on.

Actually monoblock amps play full range of sound but are mostly used for subs because of the high power output and low impedance stability.

Get a 2 channel amp for your front speakers otherwise you will not have stereo in them and it will sound loud and crapy. Monoblock is a monaural output design. Subs don’t mind because stereo separation at that low of a frequency doesn’t make much of a difference.

i have already chosen to run a 4 channel amp to my speakers so it can power all my speakers with about 50 watts a speaker. this is the amp i am getting for my speakers.

480 watts is the MAXIMUM watt the amp will send. you will hardly ever see this unless lightning strikes. instead, the real power comes from the RMS, meaning "root means square" or average. this amp puts out 50x4, so 50 watts RMS to 4 channels. since he is hooking all the speakers up using all four channels, each speaker will recieve 50 watts.
