[QUOTE="bailecz, post: 8746819, member: 683092"] I'm planning to buy my first aftermarket system at the age of 45. While I'm a huge home audiophile, car audio is new to me. My local shop proposed the system below, but I cant decipher how it would even work with a 5 channel amp. I feel like this amp will not provide enough power. Can you provide opinions? Or what type of amp strategy would be ideal to achieve best sound?
