Hey, I have been thinking about adding an amp/sub to my stereo lately. I wanted to know what you guys think about getting a 4-channel amp, bridging two for a sub, and using the other two for my 6x9's. Ive heard a little from both sides. Thanks for any help

technically speaking, that would work fine. Are those 6x9's up front or in the rear? Assuming they're in the rear of your car, if you add power to rear speakers, your soundstage will suffer. Midrange sound isn't non-directional, therefore you want most of it produced by your front speakers. Another consideration is that A/B class amps are less efficient than D class subwoofer amps.

Ya, my 6x9's are in the back, in the front ive got tiny 4x6's, the specs on them are 35 RMS and 75 Max, I dont think giving them much juice would really add much SQ, if I were to do that I would definately get another amp to power the sub, even bridged an amp that small wouldnt push much of a sub.

4x6s, thats unfortunate, you should consider kickpods up front.
