im bout to invest in a system for my 93 z28. my plan is to go with 2 MTX thunder6000 10" subs. i got a sony XPLOD headunit installed a while back. and i just put in some pioneer coaxials all around, which sound pretty good. what information i need is what type of amp i should go with. i could get a great deal on an audiobahn 6 channel amp from my friend. 500 dollar amp for like 150. he had it in his show truck, but upgraded his system. what i wanna know is would that be overkill for my car. 6 channels... i would have to hook up all my speakers to the amp and the 2 subs. would it be better to invest just in a 2 channel amp for my subs than go with the 6 channel and wire all my speakers, and my subs to it. any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you can get the amp for cheap, why not? :) you don't HAVE to use all of the channels.

ok bad news...the amp i was gonna get,someone picked it up tonight. kinda sucks, but oh well. i guess my next question is what type of amp/amps should i get? i wanna power two MTX thunder6000 10" subs and all my speakers i guess. waht are the bad things if i dont wire my speakers to the amp and just go with a 2 channel amp for the subs? and maybe later on add on a 4 channel amp for my speakers. i am probably gonna go with 2 amps, cause i like how itll look what brand of amps should i go with, and what type of wattage. any help would be nice.

My suggestion is to forget about using a 2 channel amp and get a mono class D subwoofer amp instead. I'm using 2 amps in my setup. You can check it out here (http://www.sounddomain.com/id/whiterascal).
