Do you guys think it's better to have 1 5/6 channel amp rather then 2 seperate amps? (In terms of practality and space, rather then looks)

 

I love my 5 channel amp, it's awesome. compared to having 2 seperate amps, it's a lot easier to wire, and to set up.

 

I know the Directed 5 channels (and i think the JL) are 2 "seperate" amps in one chassis - Class a/b for highs and class d for sub.

So, id say its not gonna make much of a difference either way, aside from looks and price.

 

The major problem with many 5/6 channel amps is that they use a single power supply to drive all the channels, the DLS has 2 seperate supplies, as do most decent 5/6 channel units.

 

Im using a Memphis Belle (5 channel) and am glad that I did. Really easy to install.

 

The US Amp 5600X 5 channel is really good.

 

I have a Phoenix Gold Route 66 and it is just two amp in one. it is just easy to wire and looks good. Usually takes up less space.

 

5-Channel amps are great for saving space in many different vehicles, and most of the multi channel amps out there are quite good.

And depending on how fussy you are - they can give you plenty of power and great sound quality too.
