Question About Amps
What is the difference between different channel of amps (For example, there are 2 channel amps and 5 channel amps)
Also how do you know if an amp is compatible with different subwoofers?
Also is it possible for one amp to power 1 subwoofer and the in car speakers

2 channels is just your left and right
4 channels is your left and right plus front and back
5 channels same as above with either a center speaker or sub output
For subs your getting into ohms law. What amps is rated for and what your subs ohms are.

Would you be able to use one amp for a subwoofer and the speakers?

HI,
If your just planning running two speakers only then just get a two channel with maybe a built in crossover to make things easy. IMO I would get another amp just for the sub either a 2 channel or mono block that will suit your needs ie. bridges down to 1ohm, 2ohms, 4 ohms.
What kind of sub are you planning on using? Single Voice coil SVC or Dual Voice Coil (DVC)?
A DVC d2 will result in either 1ohm or 4 ohms
A DVC D4 will result in either 2 ohms or 8 ohms.
What equipment are you looking at to get?
