5 Channel amps are great for a basic set up.
I dont like the for the fact most start going to a class D rating. Great for subs but bad for main drivers if you like to listen to you music loud or you like to crank it up on those nice spring summer days, then a 5channel amp is not going to be the best

There are MANY ways you can set it up. Limiting factor is your budget.
