5-channel amp questions from a newbie...

[heat23 10+ year member]

Right now I have a pair of Infinity Kappas for the front and for the rear. I want to get a new amp and headunit and possibly in the future be able to plug in a subwoofer without running wires all through the car.

My first question is, will a 5-channel amp let me do this?

I am looking at the Pioneer 4600MP headunit which has 2 pairs of RCA connectors. Since this is a 5-channel amp, will I have to get a Y-connector? If so, does the 5th channel goto the Front channel or Rear channel? Is there a similarly priced headunit which has 5 connectors?

How is the Boss Riot 945 5-channel amp? I am looking for something under $175. Will that do the job?

Thanks a bunch
