5 channel amplifiers

[howdogg 10+ year member]

Is anyone aware of any 5 channel amplifier that has a 1 ohm stable subwoofer channel other than the memphis belle (and baby bell)? I cant seem to find anything else that'll do 1 ohm to the sub but I'm probably just not searching for the right brand names.

Or, if anyone cares to chime in, would you even consider a 5 channel amp or would you just go with a mono sub amp in combination with a 4 channel?

What are some pros/cons for either choice?

Thanks for any help, this stuff was so much simpler 10 yrs ago //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Problem with a 5 channel is upgradability. You don't really have any. Need more power up front, replace the whole thing, need more on the sub, same deal. Going with separate amps gives you more flexibility.

I have seen I few but I don't think theres are stronger one than the memphis......I'm selling one by the way...check out my post........I agree with the guy talking about the flexibility....but with the memphis you can have some......because its just so strong.........don't get a 5 channel if you plan on taking over the car audio world...feel me....
