[QUOTE="SwedishChef, post: 8298594, member: 659458"] So I've just re-wired my other car and am feeling a little more confident with this one, and have been learning a bit. Basically, I'm thinking about going with a basic HU like Pioneer MVHX560BT (it has Siri control, which I'd use a lot, and no CD, which I would never use, but also has 6 pre-amp outs). I'd go with a component system so I can replace the tweeters in my door... looking at the Polk Audio Dxi-6501, and I would install those in the front and back for a total of 4 speakers. I'd run all new wiring to the speakers. Now I need to figure out which amp and how many channels I need, which sub, and whether I should go 'bridged' for the sub. It looks like the Polk (sorry I've been told Polk is decent stuff) PA D5000.5 5-channel amp would suit my needs—I'd rather use a single amp for speakers AND sub than 2 separate amps because it should be easier to wire (unless anyone recommends otherwise for any reason). Also, for the sub, I'm looking for accurate and balanced sound reproduction—not hip-hop booming bass. I'm not even sure I need a sub at all, and in this particular car, it would actually be very nice to have the space instead. So what do you guys think? Should I get a sub or not? If not, I think I only need a 4-channel amp right? [/QUOTE]
