Need help with amp purchase

[Green1340 10+ year member]

I am wanting to get my 17 year old daughter a system for her 02 Silverado for Christmas. The amps I am looking at are the Crunch P5520, Boss Audio RT945, Soundstream XTA600.5 or Lanzar Vibe 531. As you can tell I am not wanting to spend a ton of money. I know absolutely nothing about the car systems. I chose these amps because they are the 5 channel. My thought was a seperate channel for each speaker and the sub. I intend to get her sub/ subs, speakers, etc. also. What do you think about these amps? Is the 5 channel necessary? Thanks for you input.

After looking at the poll results, How about the Hifonics ZX8000?

Are you going to be upgrading the HU as well, or keeping the stock? As for your choices, I like the Soundstream amp the best. You can also look into JBL, Infinity, Viper, Directed, etc. for a few more budget oriented amps.

The soundstream will be the better choice

Thanks for the input. The HU will remain factory Chevrolet.
