Agreed. unless you don't care for much from the sub. some people it would be just perfect. I have lots of customers(mostly older guys) that only want a little boom just to fill up the sound a bit.A 4 ch would be fine if you fit in that category.

The two channels bridged on an amp that makes 75x4@4 will be more then enough to drive a simple 10"

Get a solid cd player, consider bluetooth if you have a cell as a hands free device will become law in BC in very short order, quite possibly before the end of the year. (like the new law that prohibts use and sales of body armour that I and others knew about looooong ago). A good basic set of component speakers to round it out will allow you to hit your budget and have a great start to a system. Add the amp when your $ allow or if you want to stretch your budget do it now. Adding a amp is going to kill the immediate budget as you need to also account for wiring. Best to do it in stages and get solid equipment at every step along the way.

A sub does not need lots of power, in the days before readily available huge power that you accept as the norm now, we had much smaller 2 channel amps that did just fine. It is all about the box, the choice of sub to the box and then add power as the budget alllows.

If a sub "needs" lots of power, why is it that manufacturers for years built subs that only handled 100w rms of power (pick on say Rockford Fosgate here). There is no defacto standard that says you must have lots of power. It is all about the careful match of customer application - vehicle - box - sub - amp.

Saves some $ on the cd player then, allows us to channel the $ into a better set of component speakers perhaps.
