Whats a good AMP combo? Looking for a 4 channel Amp to power speakers and a Mono for a 10'' Sub. I plan on also putting a new head unit (pioneer 1400)



Can someone review this set up and tell me what would be appropiate components in the front and co auxs for the back?

SA-10D4 SUNDOWN AUDIO SUB 10" DVC 4 OHM SA SUBWOOFER $200

ROCKFORD FOSGATE R500-1 500W RMS MONO CAR AMP Brand New PRIME SERIES $100

Pioneer - 50W x 4 MOSFET 5.8" Multimedia DVD Deck iPod Ready AVH-P1400D $220

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
