help with some technical fact

hello guys

i have a pioneer deh-p5000ub for h/u with stock speakers. i'm adding a sub set up soon but i'm not sure which amp should i get. should i get a multi channel for expandability (in case i want to upgrade my stock speakers later and need a good amp to drive them) or should i get a mono channel just to drive the sub? let me know thanks!

it depends on your goal.

If you're looking to just add a little something in the subwoofer freqs just get a mono and a small sub -- you probably won't need an amp for your stock speakers if they're decent at all.

If you're planning a seriously powerful - LOUD - sub set up you'll need aftermarket speakers and a good sized amp to keep up anyway. So it's up to you which one you do first in that case.

Just go with a mono amp to drive the sub(s) imo

x2. . . try to spend alittle more time and think about what your looking to do with 'your system.' its too subjective without knowing more about what your looking for in the end.
