I recently bought a Panasonic head unit, with 2 pre outs. I want to put a sub in the trunk running off one amp, do i have enough pre outs? Does 2 mean only front and rear, and if you have 3 then thats for the front rear and sub, or what? Im confused?

Also might want to upgrade front factory speakers to some pioneer (not a very powerful type) and run it off the head unit, 50 x 4 mosfet. Will it sound good if the speakers only handle 30-45 watts rms?

the speakers will sound fine. If you have 2 preouts, it probably is one for front and one for rear. And generally having 3 preouts means one for front, one for rear and one non fading sub out. If you want to run a sub and amp, all you need is one preamp output, and use the rear preamp.

wow it does seem crazy cheap. They have a small selection of brands though, but all that i will buy from. Pioneer speakers, audibahn subs and amps, pioneer head units... wow. Are audiobahn subs still considered cheap quality blow in a year type subs?

yes they are and I can completely vouch for that. I had 2 audiobahn subs and an audiobahn amp in my old civic, wasn't pleased with them at all.

Really, i always had thought of them as a very high performance company. But i have no experience with them so I would listen to that guy

audiobahn has been played out .... they used to be all the rage. Cheap and lots of bass, but apparently don't sound to good and blow fairly easily
