Works well and performs equally well with the lil 8" in there.

I got a nice Atrend box through Chuck, pretty cheap and the build quality is actually pretty nice.

Now I need to find something to replace the burning pile of shit that is a Clarion NX501 head unit.

Also, who has a recommendation on a sub box and sub to go behind the rear seat of a Crew Cab Super Duty? I am entirely too unmotivated to build my own box so unless someone wants to build it for me that is out of the question.

A lot of "5 Channels" are 6 channels with one pair bridged. However the Belle is essentially 2 amp boards (a 4 channel and a monoblock) in one heatsink.

If your power levels desired are modest, def go 5ch.
If you want big power, go the other route.

Like Chuck said, the NX5 is a sweet option.

Just my $0.02.

The biggest drawback is that often you can't find a 5 channel with a large enough sub output to match the wants of the user. Massive/American Bass/MTX all basically make the same amp (same board) with slightly different components on them. If looking at the Massive Audio option, the NX5 is a solid amp that meets/exceeds rated power.

We've used these with very good results CMK.
