2 channel or 4

I was looking at picking this deck up because its on special and my xplod deck is ready to go out the window.

I read a bad review on it because it was a 2 channel deck. I don't know alot about car audio equiptment. Does this mean It can only run 2 speakers or does it mean it can run 4 regualr speakers but only 2 amplified speakers?

Two channel means there's only wire leads to connect 2 speakers
to it.

he is referring to the RCAs... and they only have one set of them... at 2.5 volts! haha anything less than 5 and I won't touch it...

since he only had one set of RCA's, he split them to go to his amp, I guess... kinda weird


its obviously not that it has two speaker outputs, because you can clearly see the RMS power rating is "RMS Power: 19W x 4"

its just a cheap deck, I would get one with a separate subwoofer output... or a "non-fading" output... along with front and rear outputs...
