1 5-channel amp.. (wil offer very little power for your sub.. but enough to just bump.. 1 4 channel and one Mono, or 2 channel amp for the sub..

Cheers
Mohawk

Or a good 6 Channel amp. Bridge 2 channels to the sub.

Cheers

i prefer to have much more juice running to my subs so i prefer two seperate amps. but since thats not a big concern to you, either a 5 or 6 channel would be good... i havnt seen too many 6 channel amps tho, so maybe a 5 would be best.

try installing it yourself it's real easy... n only difference between installing 2 amps compared to 1 is you need extra pair of RCA cables, a distribution block(unless if you want to do it the hard way, two wires from the battery to each amp).
