What is important to me is getting good bass for the speaker i have with less distortion at peak power.

This is the subwoofer i got:

the sub is 250watt rms and 500watt max


The decision I have to make is whether to stick with the 2 channel audiobahn amp and simply use that and the sub as aftermarket.

Or should I also upgrade the factory door speakers.

OR, should I try to get a 4 channel amp and use it to power both the sub and the aftermarket door speakers.

I need recommendations.

If I just stick with the amp for only the sub, this is the amp I'm getting.

this is the 4 channel amp I'm considering. if i get this, how much rms and/or max power is getting to my sub on the 2 bridged channels? (since the other 2 channels are going to the door speakers)

my experiences with Sony home gear were pretty decent over the years... my experiences with their car stuff -- miserable.

that's just one man's story...

i'm surprised to see CC no longer deals w/ Kenwood.

also, what other store options are in your area... CC doesn't provide the greatest selection...
