[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8674644, member: 540940"] What you want to do is PERFECTLY fine. At WORST, it is a step in the right direction. There is NOTHING bad about using 2 channels of a 4 ch to run a sub -- it has a low pass filter and will work fine. Actually, it's probably the best way to build a decent sounding system at minimal cost. Some of these know-it-all's don't realize mono/subwoofer amps just came to the market about 20 yrs ago. People were putting together perfectly good quality sub setups with their bridged multi-channel amps LONG before mono/subwoofer amps were developed -- some still prefer them. At <200w you're obviously not going to have the LOUDEST sound around, but it will sound fine at moderate volume. Don't let all these car audio holier than thou geeks tell you what you want to do is dumb. Next step -- save for a decent sub amp and bridge the Kenwood to give your fronts more power. That will allow you to kick the volume up a bit and still have good sound quality. [/QUOTE]
