I was thinking about getting a bigger amp and go with a mono cause I only have 1 12" sub, but then I was thinking I might get a bigger sub so I might be better off getting a two channel incase I want to run two subs. Question is what sounds better mono or 2 channel and get u bridge the 2 channel to power one sub until maybe u decide to run 2 subs? Which one would u got for?

A monoblock amp doesn't sound "better" than any other amp. It just was designed to power one sub. But with wiring flexibility, we can wire 2 subs on a monoblock amp. How many ohms is your sub, and the one your planning to get? If you can, get matching subs. Go with a mono amp.

Head Unit:Pioneer-Deh-1600

Fronts:Kicker 6x8 S57's

Front Amp:Coustic PowerLogic Amp460

Rear Fill:Stock 6x8's

Subs: 2 10" JL Audio W3's

Sub Amp: JBL bp600.1

Wiring: KnuKonceptz

I have a pioneer 12" Since I looking for a truck I not going to buy anything cause the big box I got know won't fit so I guess I wait till I figure out what I am going to get.

Mono for subs is the way to go hey cool. How would u wire it with two subs?

You must determine the subs first, then armed with these subs it can and will determine the wiring configuration to the proper mono amplifier.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.
