An audio novice in need of help
So I have installed 4 of these in my truck (Infinity Kappa's) and now I find myself wanting more. I'm thinking of adding a single sub, possibly an SD-2 10 D2 from Sundown Audio in a single 10 box from supercrew sound. Now comes the part where I have no idea what to do, the amp. I don't want to get a sub, amp it and then completely drown out my speakers, so would I need two amps? Or a 5 channel to run everything off of? Any help would be appreciated, if anyone has any questions I will reply as soon as I can. Thanks again.

With that sub personaly I would run 2 seperate amps as trying to find a 5 Channel that puts out 500+ watts mono rms is going to be hard.

That's what I did, although I'm happy enough now that I don't think I'm gonna bother amping the front/rears. I had to get an RCA splitter to run the front line lever inputs (I used the tweed feeds through an Line Output Converter) to both front and rear inputs on the amp for it to work, but now I love it.

It's a good amp, I just personaly think that its over priced.
For a budget of $600 you could get 2 nice amps for under that price.

for your budget i would get a double din hu for around 300.. then run a mono amp for the sub, you can easily do that for 600. then if you are not happy after that you can get the alpine KTp445U the nice thing about the alpine is that you can stuff it in the dash and dont have to rewire every speaker.
