Components in front, co aux in back. Not sure of brand. I am looking for affordable but still quality.

I think i am going to get the Sundown 10''.

noob question, but so if I wanted to run a 4 speakers in the cabin and the sub in the trunk. Can I got with one 4channel and one mono or would I need to get a 5 channel to be able connect the mono?

5 channel amps have a sub channel on them

Ideally, you want a 4 channel + a mono(1 channel) amp for your sub

What one would you choose for the 5 channel Amp between these two?

MB Quart ONYX ONX4.80/500 5 Channel Amplifier 1140 Watt Car Audio Amp System

or

Soundstream Rubicon RUB5.800 5 Channel 800 WATT RMS Amplifier Amp

The 2 u posted don't have subsonic filters will you'll need.

Im thinking infinite baffle sub setup would be ideal here depending on trim

Along with 2 small amps
