I'm very new to car audio and I have a question, most likely a stupid one but I believe you should learn directly from those who know. So I'm adding a 1 sub plus 4 speakers to my ride. My head unit has 4 speaker outputs and 2 individual RCA Outputs. The amp I want has 5 channels but also comes in a 4 channel variant if that would be better. I would prefer to have all 4 speakers amped because I'm getting a fairly beefy amp that will have plenty of power left over for the speakers. I've included a picture of both the AMP I want to buy and my current head unit/stereo.
Now knowing the head unit has 2 RCA outputs while the AMP has 6 RCA Inputs. I'm wondering how exactly that works. Would only 2 of the 5 channels on the amp work If I hook it up like this.? Would the other speaker outputs simply not work? Is there a way that this will work at all? I don't want to buy a new head unit but will If I have to, but even still I can't find a head unit that is even decently priced with 6 RCA Outputs. I just need help, please.
