[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8539015, member: 650438"] you cant do a 5 channel. Your head unit only has two pairs of rca outputs thats why i said 4 or 3 channel in my last post. Since most 3 channels are expensive, i'd go with a 4 channel. This amp should do fine for a super cheap budget. Its not a real 100 watts but should be close to 60 or so at 4 ohms. You sub should see around 200 watts if you bridge the rear channels. So you'll hook up the front to channel 1 and 2 put it on high pass filter mode. and the sub bridged on the 3 and 4 which has a high pass/low pass option which blocks vocals from reaching your sub. Leave the rears on head unit power. When you go to a concert, you dont look away from the band, you look at them. Dont even bother amping the rears bud. The front is the most important part of a car sound system.
