$500 which amp combo to power speaker/subs?
ok, continuing my very slow quest, just bough a pair of component speakers and a pair of subs and have $500 left for amplification, do I
a) power the speakers with the head unit and spend $500 on a sub amp
b)spend the $500 on a 4 channel amp to power speakers and subs
c) buy both an inexpensive 2 channel amp and sub amp
one last thing, my deck only has 2 pre outs, will that work for my small rig or do I need to upgrade to a deck with 3 pre outs?

Get a four channel amp to start............. bridge two channels for the subs.......... and the other two channels for the components. Later on, you can then run the components actively all off the four channel and add a sub amp to the mix.

IMO, I would go for a Sundown Audio SAX-100.4, bridge the back 2 channels for the subs (About 350 watts rms at 4 ohms) and use the other 2 channels for the front speakers. Then one the inevitiable happens and you want more bass, you use the 100.4 to go active on the front speakers and buy a dedicated sub amp.
