What do you feel makes the most difference, a quality 4 channel amp, or a sub. (Keep in mind, I'm not a bass fanatic, I think subs should only fill in where other speakers left off without drowning out everything else.) |

Sounds like you just answered your own question. |

I was mainly wondering which one I should get first. I'm in school, so not the greatest budget, but I've been curious about how much improvement a 4 channel amp would add over the head unit. |

Assuming you already replaced your stock speakers (cuz that is the 1st upgrade that should be made), you'll be happy with amping them as the next upgrade. I did it in a different order (did the sub first - but I like bass). To answer your question, amping the speakers did make a big improvement - cleaner, more mid-bass, louder without distortion. |

The amp, which allows you to set the gains to match your speakers, thus enhancing the SQ of your whole system. |

Yeah, I've already upgraded speakers and head unit. Sorry, forgot to mention it. I have Infinity Kappa 6.5" component system and Pioneer DEH-5500MP head unit. I already bought a JL Audio e4300, heard it in a friends car and it's awesome, I love the controls and the clean sound of it. Have yet to hook it up, do you think it'll push a kappa component system and kappa 6x9's pretty good?
