Set-up Question

Ok...

I recently got a 10" Bazooka sub in a ported box, and a 190 watt (RMS) mono amp. The guys at CC took like 6 freakin hours hooking it up to my factory system (Mercury Marauder). When I asked what took so long, they told me that the amp wasnt getting any power due to my factory deck, and they had to add a fuse or something to the setup to get power to the amp, but that it isnt getting as much as I should get.

Anyways, I wanted to buy a 4 channel amp to my factory speakers to improve overall sound. CC said that this was a good idea, but I should add an after-market deck intead to get more out of the sub.

Should I invest in getting an after-market deck, or go with a 4 channel amp.

I am curious to if I will get a much better sound with a after-market deck as opposed to my factory deck.

If installed correctly, there should be no difference between the two. There is no reason you must have an aftermarket deck, they are BSing you.
