Need experianced help

I have a 2000 Camaro and I am looking for a new head unit. I have 360 (or 180, don't know if they added them together because they're a pair) watt 6.5" 3-way Pyle speakers and I am eventually going to get subs. What would be a good but reasonably cheap head unit that has an aux-input or bluetooth that could run the front, sail, rear, and sub speakers?

No headunit is going to be able to power all those speakers. All aftermarket headunits have the ability to power 4 speakers; 2 fronts, and 2 rears.

As for adding subs in the future, you will need to have an external amplifier to power them, so as long as you make sure whatever headunit you get has subwoofer RCA outputs/pre-outs you'll be fine. And 99% of all modern headunits have at least that; most have front/rear/sub for pre-outs.

Yea that's what I figured but I thought maybe there was a solution. I have found one with 2 RCA outputs and a sub pre-out like you said but wanted to check if that was the best it gets. I guess I'll just have to give a few speakers up then. Thanks for your help.

I would.

Personally, when I've done installs on 4th gens. I use a component set up (Seperate tweeter and driver with a passive cross-over) driven off the front channels; and just a 2-way or mid-bass driver 6.75" in the rear sails just for rear fill. Then use whatever subwoofer setup that the owner wants.

That's the best sounding setups I've done/seen. You don't need a ton of speakers to get great sound; just proper speakers and amplification.

yea I think my front door speakers were wired separately for tweeters and drivers already because there are two sets of wire in each door.
