Adding 5 channel amp - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I wanted to add a 5 channel and remove the factory crap one. I have a 10" sub that I want to add to the mix as well. In order to keep everything working properly, what are my options? Seems like the Fark 3.0 is the simple solution to my problem?

Those are my plans too. I have the Fark kit and the amp mounting board waiting to go in with a 4-5 channel JL audio amp depending on whehter I decide to add a sub or not.

For the $$$, you cannot beat the JBL GTO-5EZ amp for $399. 50w x4 RMS @4ohm + 500w x1 RMS @2ohm. Easy to install and setup. Only thing not included is a GTO-RBC for another $40 if you want it (remote bass control knob). We also sell Hertz and Rockford that both offer several 5ch options but a little more money depending on model.

If you have the BA system, then yes the FARK harness will make installation go so much easier. Been running my harness and amp for over a year and it sounds great!

I've got the FARK system and a 5 channel amp and I'm definitely happy.

I decided to ditch the rear speakers and now just have the fronts wired in and IMO it sounds MUCH better. Point is don't rule out a 4 channel amp you can bridge the rear channels on to power the sub.

Is the FARK kit nessesary? Or is it only used just to not cut wires?

It's just used so that you don't have to cut up your factory wiring.
