OK. I have been wanting to add a sub to my car for a long time now. I don't need anything crazy like dual 12" subs or thousands of watts of power, I am just looking for a moderately low cost way to get some sub power in there so that I have a little more thump, but not so that people can hear it 5 blocks away.

Anyway, I am looking at amps and have probably a stupid question.

Amp Channels! Mono vs. 2 vs. 4 channel... What is that all about? At first I thought that it meant output channels. Mono means one sub, 2 channel = 2 subs, etc. But other things I am looking at are giving me conflicting information, like a combo unit with 2 subs, and a mono amp. Then again there is parallel and serial wiring that tells me that as long as the ohms are within range, you could hook up whatever (within reason) you wanted.

Again, probably a rediculiously simple question, but I just figured it was easier to ask.

I am thinking just a single sub, but I am stuck on this amp thing.
