This is a good thread. Like SEV, I am also an audio noob. I also find myself in the same situation as him - I want to add a sub and improve sound quality for a few hundred bucks but really have modest goals. My question is whether you should also buy another amp with this setup to push some or all of stock 8 speaker system. If adding power is advisable, is there an advantage of going with a multi-channel amp rather than multiple two channel amps?
