[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8177644, member: 576029"] yes, speaker level inputs are lower quality overall because you get the HU amplifier's distortion further amplified. ok with the proper OEM interface and HU volume is kept lower. getting a mono amp for the sub is a decent idea, depending on the sub. most mono amps don't do much at 4 ohms and most 4 channel amps require a 4 ohm bridged load. since you have a dual 4 ohm sub, i assume they wired the sub coils in series so the amp is powering an 8 ohm load. in that case, a separate monoblock would be a great idea. you have several options for getting one output to turn into three, and a 1/2 DIN EQ is the best option for flexibility and performance. with an amp channel for each speaker, you don't care about different impedance speakers.
