BTW, the amps being considered are the Audison LRx 5.1k and 6.9. I worked out an awesome combo deal with the BitOne. Getting the 6.9 would only be $100 less than the 5.1k but if you think the 6.9 would be a better fit for the system I would be willing to give up the extra output. The mids are a/d/s 344is and tweeters are a/d/s px concepts. One thing the 6.9 has over the 5.1k is that its all class a/b. The 5.1k is class D on the sub channel.

I see... any mono SWS-8 implementation will require two 4 ohms SWS-8 wired in parallel, so the 2 ohms version is out of the picture with the 5.1k.
Personally, I would go with the 6.9 to retain the full stereo effect of the woofers and drive the front/rear/underseat woofers with it; the SWS-8s then should be the 2 ohms version, so you can get them close to their max RMS input (140W at 2 ohms vs. 75W at 4 ohms). The bit one.1 then should be free to be adjusted without choking it to protect the woofers.
Are you having any rear speakers in this system? Are you having a trunk sub? The 5.1k looks to me that would be great only for a front/stereo underseat woofer/mono trunk sub setup.
