[QUOTE="MEMPHISKANE, post: 8232981, member: 636371"] Have you pulled the sub out of the box to see how it is wired. Is it a 2 ohm driver or dual 4. If dual 4 you can wire it up to an 8 ohm load and then use channels 3 and 4 bridged without worrying about throwing the amp into protection/overheating. As long as you set the crossover on the amp right it will be an improvement over what you have now. If it isn't what you like just upgrade from there, no need to buy more equipment if its not needed. I have done plenty of basic installs using a 4 channel for fronts and a sub. It isn't a full out performance upgrade but still going to be an improvement over what you have now. As far as channels 1 and 2 going to the fronts it will most likely be an improvement as far as getting clean power to the speakers you will probably gain some volume but its not going to be much.
