A 5-channel amplifier powers four speakers and a subwoofer from a single chassis. That means one power wire, one install location and a cleaner build. This collection includes 5-channel and multi-channel amplifiers from Kicker, JL Audio, Audison, AudioControl, Alpine, ARC Audio, Wet Sounds and Powerbass.
What to compare
- RMS per channel for the speakers, plus the subwoofer channel's RMS at your sub's impedance.
- Size: compact Class-D models fit under seats.
- Built-in DSP or crossovers for tuning.
- Marine-rated models for boats and UTVs.

FAQ
Is a 5-channel amp better than two amps?
It is simpler to install and takes less space. Two separate amps can offer more power for big subwoofer setups.
Can I use it with a factory radio?
Yes, with high-level inputs or a line output converter.
Can you install it?
Yes, at our Vaughan shop.
