    are you talking about 5.1 sound or are you talking about 6.1 sound?

    that deck only has front, rear, and sub outputs... so thas basically 5 channels. i dont know what adapter you are talking about, but if you post the link or some description of it, im sure someone can help...

    BTW... i never understood the need for a center channel in the car. sitting ~ 5 feet away from every speaker kinda makes a dedicated center channel a bit odd... but thats just me...

    that deck has 3 sets of rca outputs... one for front, one for rear, and one for subs. if you use a 4 channel amp you can run the front and rear off the same amp, and have a separate dedicated amp (1 or 2 channels) for the sub.

    or you could skip the amp for the front and rear speakers. but you WILL need an amp if you want to run subs.

    perhaps you could give some more info on what you want to do, what you have, what you are planning on buying, etc... that would clear up a bit of the confustion.

    Its going to be stereo, and not 5 or 6 channel. The outputs are two channel stereo only, and the sub out (low pass) is probably on the rear. The only difference between the front and rear outputs is your fader setting.
