[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8482844, member: 576029"] for amp configurations, most people run a 4 channel for speakers and a separate monoblock for subs. you can look at 5-channel amps for simplicity. you can also just run a single 4 channel and configure it to run the speakers in parallel on channels 1 & 2 and then the sub(s) bridged on channels 3 & 4. you need to know sub impedance prior to choosing any of the options above. most 4 channel amps are only 4 ohm stable when bridged. some are 2 ohm stable bridged. when on a budget, buying used is a great idea. a "good deal" when buying used is getting it for 1/3 or less than the original price. Power Acoustik isn't in the list of "good" amplifier brands. Powerbass is the better budget brand out there. [/QUOTE]
