What’s The Best 5 Channel Amp for Your Car?

Table of Contents

When you’re shopping for a new car amplifier, the first questions you should ask yourself are, how will I use it?  Am I going to power a whole sound system that comprises multiple speakers and subs? Or just one sub? One pair of speakers or a couple of pairs of speakers? Maybe both speakers and a sub?

Asking these questions will help your narrow down your choices and help you select the right amplifier for your vehicle based on the number of output channels and how much power your components can support.  Car amplifiers come in different models with a different number of channels. For this guide, we take a look at some of the best 5 channel amps you can use to upgrade your sound system.

General Thoughts on Car Amps

  • Some amps only have one channel and they’re referred to as mono-channel amps.  They’re designed specifically for subwoofers, and depending on the amp and sub’s impedance load you can connect one or multiple subs to one single mono amp.
  • 2-channel amps offer more versatility.  They can be use to drive your front door speakers.They can also be bridged to (Combining the 2 channels into a single channel) power a subwoofer.
  • 4-channel amps offer a wide variety of options.  They are the perfect type for powering a couple of pairs of speakers.  They can also be used to power a pair of door speakers using two channels while bridging the output of the other 2-channels to drive a subwoofer, enjoying clean highs and powerful, full lows out of one package.
  • Amps don’t stop only at 4 channels though.  5 channel amps let you power a whole sound system.  And they offer a rich blend of capabilities for a great value.  They have 4 channels to power both front and rear deck speakers and a fifth dedicated powerful channel for powering your subs.  The best thing about this type of amps is that they’re versatile and easier to install.  A 5-channel amp is a great investment for those who want to give their sound systems the flexibility and room to grow down the road.

1. Kenwood KAC-7005PS

Kenwood KAC-7005PS

First up is the Kenwood KAC-7005PS, a pretty solid car amplifier on its own – it’s probably considered the best of Kenwood’s 5 channel amps, bar none.  It can drive your entire car audio system giving it the boost it needs. 

Kenwood, a brand we are rather enamored with, makes some of the best car stereos in addition to the best car amplifiers. So if you happen to pick up one of their impressive stereos, you might want to get this amp to accompany it (though if you like, any other stereo will work with this amp). 

The Kenwood KAC-7005PS can deliver up to 40 Watts of output power to each of your fronts and rear speakers continuously and up to 300 watts RMS to your subs – this will result in crystal, clear, and rocking sound in your car. 

Another positive to the KAC-7005PS is the flexibility it offers – for example, if you’ve only got a set of speakers that you want to drive, you can bridge the amp into 3-channel mode and send 100 watts of RMS power to each of your speakers.  Of course, as we’ve already mentioned, the more channels your amp has, the more flexibility it offers. 

To keep this amp working at optimal temperatures even under extreme loads, Kenwood incorporated a cooling option that comprises a cooling fan – sometimes up to 2 fans on some models and a rugged cast-aluminum heat sink for extreme heat dissipation. 

In addition, this versatile amp also features separately adjustable crossover filters on all of its channels, not to mention a built-in variable bass boost on sub-channel for up to 18 dB of low-frequency thump. 

The only downside, conceivably, is the relatively low RMS power rating makes it a bit lacking, especially if you have high-performance speakers that require more power than what this amp can put out.  But, other than that, this is a great amp to add to your sound system.

2. Rockford Fosgate R600X5 Prime

Rockford Fosgate R600X5 Prime

The R600X5 by Rockford Fosgate is one of the most expensive car amplifiers out there and the most expensive that we’re going to review. 

However, despite that, you’ll have to shell out some serious dough if you want to get this. Nevertheless, it definitely earns its keep when it comes to performance and reliability. 

The R600X5 can drive 4 speakers with 50 watts RMS each while sending 200 watts to the subwoofer on a continuous-flow basis.  So if you’ve got a powerful set of speakers, you can bridge the amp to 2 channel mode to power these speakers with 150 watts RMS each while sending 300 watts to your sub. 

This model includes variable high and low pass filters to take full advantage of your speakers and subwoofer.  It also comes with speaker-level inputs – these inputs allow you to hook this amplifier up to almost any head unit, including a factory head unit. 

The R600X5 offers long-term reliability and provides superior sound quality.  In addition, its heavy cast-aluminum chassis incredibly contributes to heat dissipation by drawing heat away from the internal components making the amp running at its peak performance at optimal temperatures.  Long story short, this is one of the best 5 channel amps out there.

3. Rockford Fosgate P1000X5 Punch

Rockford Fosgate P1000X5 Punch

The brother of the R600X5, the main difference between that amp and this is its performance.  That’s identified by Its RMS coming in at 75 watts RMS per channel along with up to 150 watts RMS on the sub’s channel with the amplifier output impedance being set at 4 ohms. 

The advantage of this is that you can drive a couple of pairs of high-performance speakers as well as a powerful subwoofer

Additionally, the sub’s low and high pass filters are powerful features that come in handy for getting the right sound from your sub(s).  The amp’s high-pass filters can be used to trim off low frequencies from your full-range speakers so they’ll play more efficiently.  The low pass filters do the opposite – they filter high frequencies. 

If you happen to have a very powerful pair of speakers and a subwoofer, you can switch this amp into 3 channel mode to drive your speakers with 250 watts RMS while sending 500 watts to your subwoofer. 

Rockford Fosgate incorporated a patented dynamic thermal management system that uses channeled air through its large heatsinks to dissipate heat and lessen the temperature of the internal parts, so the amp stays cooler and works better.

4. Planet Audio AC1800.5 MOSFET

Planet Audio AC1800.5 MOSFET

The Planet Audio AC1800.5 is one of the best multiple channel amps out there.  It’s slightly less expensive, but it’s a solid amplifier that’s worth every penny. 

So what makes this a solid amp?  Basically, its power handling coming in at 210 watts for all of its four channels when the amp is configured for 4-ohm impedance load.  That’s a huge amount of power.  The price also makes it perfect for budget-conscious audio enthusiasts looking for a good amp to drive their entire sound system. 

It can be challenging to find a decent amp that won’t totally break the bank.  While most of the best 5 channel amps are priced at over $190, the AC1800 is very affordable.  However, it does not forfeit quality for the price.  On the contrary, it’s one of the best amps at this price point. 

For some people, music is the driving force of their lives.  Planet Audio built this AC1800 5-channel amp to send 210 watts RMS to both your rear and front speakers, plus up to 420W RMS to a sub, so you can hear and feel the musical joy.  You can also bridge the amp.  If you’ve got a pair of speakers and a very powerful subwoofer that requires tons of power, you can switch the amp into Tri-Mode and increase the power output to the subwoofer. 

The built-in high- and low-pass filters come in handy to let you adjust your amp’s output, so your speakers and sub(s) deliver the music you’ve been missing.  The built-in Variable Bass Boost is also a great feature.  It gives you control over the amount of bass you want to pump out to your sub(s).

As you can already tell, you’ll be spoilt for choice when searching for the best 5 channel amp. The options available are numerous. That’s why we could not narrow it down to only one best 5 channel amp. So instead, we came up with a whopping 8 options for you to choose from! 

All the options on this list are great. And you cannot go wrong with either of them. However, the best one for you will depend on the power rating of your speaker and subs. 

Some of the powerful amps on this list, like the Rockville dB55, have an impressively high power rating of 2000 watts. Others like the Kenwood KAC-7005PS have a lower power rating, but its performance and reliability remain unmatched. 

Enjoy!
