Personally the cost of the 5 channel amp is a hurdle that most cannot deal with. Also, If one section of ther amp goes down and needs repairs, the whole amp has to come out and you have no audio until the amp come back. In some cases, that could be weeks of waiting.

A good 4 channel for the interiors and a decent Mono amp for the sub is a preferred choice. Can always upgrade to a larger sub amp is he so chooses too. In all, he can get both amps for under $400.00 plus wiring and not have to suffer a small sub amp and high cost for a typical 5 channel amp. They just don't add up for most guys.
