For Christmas I just got a new Sony deck and four 180W 3-way Pioneer speakers. I know this is not a very good system but since my car had Nothing before this I am happy.

Since my cheap Sony deck can't really give any power to these speakers I am looking at buying an amp. First thing you should know is that I really know nothing about car audio.

Ok now that that's out in the open I can ask some noob ass questions. Since I would be using the amp to power the four speakers in my car plus a future sub I would want to get a 5-channel amp right? Or could I get a 2-channel amp and run all four speakers off of one channel?

I guess what I am asking is how channels work for amps and what you would recommend I get?
