[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 630396, member: 555320"] 1 amp Advantages: cleaner look, easier and cheaper installation (less wire to run, less wire needed, not distro blocks needed, less amps to try to mount and connect, etc etc), probably cost a little less 1 amp Disadvantage; May be harder to find a single amp that gives the power you need for both the comps and subs; may need to make compromises there. If you ever want to upgrade, you need to upgrade everything (for example, if you want to go with higher powered subs). So it's a little less flexible 2 amps Advantages= more flexibility in upgrading (if you want to upgrade to higher powered subs, only need to replace the sub amp), may be easier to find amps that match your power needs 2 amp Disadvantages = Probably cost a little more, might be harder to find places to mount the amps, more wire to run It just comes down to personal preference.
