You have "entry" level gear, so stick with something cheap. 4 channel amp, something around 4x50RMS would be perfect - almost every brand out there does something that suits what you want, it just comes down to how much you want to spend.

Brands to go for - Alpine, Kicker, Pioneer (although I've had a LOT of problems with dud 4 channel Pioneer amps), Jaycar, etc. Stick away from anything you get off eBay or anything that quotes a stupid amount of power output.

hey i no i didnt stick to the brands you recommend but i was thinking of getting a Sony XMZR604 or if i wanted to b cheap a XM-4S what do you think?

Also is it worth getting a sub wen i lisen to heavy metal coz ive heard my mates car not sure wat setup he had think it was soundstream with 6X9s and 2 subs in the back anyway i put in my a7x cd in and it sounded horrible the bass just took over everything is that going to happen if i get a sub or did he just have a ****ty setup?

I listen to REAL metal (haha, sorry if you're actually an Avenged fan) and I love my bass. Actually makes the music kicks sound like a kick, rather than AJFA-era Metallica. You'll want smaller-ish subs (two 10"s would be perfect) in a sealed enclosure - should have plenty of punch and articulation for you.

You friends car probably sounded **** because of the speakers he had - 6x9"s and two subs never go well together.

It’s a good thing that you know about professional audio installing. Because of the point that even you can upgrade your car audio every time you want.
