RCA pre-outs (2 or 3 pairs)

sry wanna tumpang ur thread coz me too nub lol. just wanna ask on type of setup for s/system when buying amp like 4/3/2 or 1 channel.

What is the advantages to having 4/3/2 channel to 1 channel amp?

something that will compliment a 2-way component speaker + woofer.

thanks sifus

get a 4ch amp, use the front 1 & 2 ch to run
the front components. rear ch 3 & 4 to be bridged [combined] into mono for the subwoofer.

if u had just the front comps, then a 2ch amp will be enuff. or if u were just running a sub, the a single ch amp [monoblock] will do..

HU > Speakers > Amp > Sub > Wiring
