Amp & SW suggestions...???

[PLK]

I already have this HU: Premier DEH-P690UB and now I am trying to figure out what else comps should I acquire:

I far as I am a newb in car-audio, I have tried to read opinions in different forums and this is what I understand so far:

1. The HU is a very important component for all the system, so I should consider to get a good one. - Done, I have the Pioneer Premier DEH-P690UB

2. Regarding front components, I could install a nice pair of speakers( I have not acquired them yet) and there is no need to buy an amp right the way, how ever it would be recommended to acquire one 4-ch amp to power up this set…any suggestions? Somebody told me about a non so famous german brand, Kole Audio, any comments about them? How about hifonics or crunch?

3. And finally, SW and amp. Should I get another amp to power up sw or can use the same 4ch for front components and SW?If not, What kind of amp? Should it be a mono amp or a Class D amp? What's the difference? Do I have to choose a SW frst or the amp? …and how can I choose a good non-expensive sw/amp?

Thank you in advance for any comments, I would like to have all needed equipment asap though I do not know anybody to ask for professional opinnion :S

supposedly class d are cooler running more efficient amps. oops im not sure if they run cooler but they are suppose to be more efficient. I wouldn't bridge a 4 channel to a 2 channel and run a subwoofer off of it, well if you want a powerful subwoofer at least.

efficiency=a cooler amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Stick wit a class d for ur sub amp. Unless ur running something that requires low power at 4ohm impedance.

And buy a comp set and power it with a 2ch. amp. Please don't use the HU's power, it just sux, plain and simple.
