get a Leviathan, if you can find one for $500

nope. but you have way better ways to wire subs and speakers.. what if he gets more subs?? do you know that

Why's that? Because 2 is more than 1?
If anything, it's the opposite...and the OP will save money on additional power wires. If you have a 50w X 4 amp and a 200w mono and compared it with a 50 X 4 + 200 x 1 5ch amp, the 5ch amp will usually sound better and have more balls. This has been the case with every 3/5/6ch amp I have ever come across.

Two amplifiers means two power supplies. But a single 5-channel, assuming its a quality product, will have an adequate power supply anyway. Generally speaking, neither approach will 'sound better', even though both have been suggested as being sonically superior in this thread. I usually prefer multiple amps though, as it is easier to upgrade down the road if you decide to change speakers. For example, if you decide later you want to run two massive subs that require more power than your 5th channel of your amp allows, you dont have to purchase new amplification for your entire system.

You have to have valid points to argue something. Btw, this forum has vendor attrition worse than Obama's Hollywood actor and Hip-Hop recording artist support. But you wouldnt have noticed that for whatever reason.

im just ignorant like u

Im trying to figure out what 'vendor attrition' is suppose to mean.

i think he's the only one getting stressed out here

Well, lets keep this thread on topic anyway. If someone wants to discuss the vendor program, there are threads dedicated to that elsewhere. Thanks.
