Help a guy out?

Hi guys...

Im really new to the car audio scene, and am looking for a decent, used 5 channel amp! ive looked through the for sale part of the forum, and found nothing.

i just bought a head unit for my chevy silverado 1500 standard cab, and want to replace the door/rear pillar speakers, and want to add a 10" sub.im planning on getting 6 1/2" 3 way infinity door speakers, 4x6 infinity rear pillar speakers, and a kicker 10" sub thats made for behind pick-up seats.....

i'd like to power it all with a single 5 channel amp. does anyone here have one they want to part with that would fit my needs? it doesnt have to be crazy big, something like 75w x 4 RMS + 300w x 1 @ 2 ohm, or something like that.

cheap is good, as im a family guy, mortgage, payments through the ****, just like 90% of us poor schmuks ;-) located in Manitoba!

Thanks for now guys,

GiNNz!

Skip the back speakers and roll with a 4channel amp. Opens up way more used options.

i think you missed the point of Dukk's post. He was essentially recommending that you do not need to amplify your rear speakers. Think of going to a concert and turning your back to it

I think for simple systems, having speakers all around is a plus. Get less cancelation and weirdness when moving\tilting the head. Can get louder and sound better doing so, plus one might be able to get better midbase and thus the feeling of punchier\better bass because of it.

I have a massive audio nx5 for 300$, it's in the classified btw, to expensive?

That's right. In fact I would leave the back speakers stock too, as well as only on deck power.

I have been running a Kenwood KAC-X4R that I purchased from a member on here, ran my RE XXX 6.5" components and a pair of Kicker CVR 10's to pretty good volume levels, cleanly. Tiny amp, also. http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&...r2Q6ox62KgKGPA
