What Soundcard with this setup?

If i'm going to be running 4 speakers (2 front 2 rear) and then 4 subs (8" subs)...what sound card would be able to output enough to run that? And it needs to be a USB sound card...would this sound card be sufficient? i just don't think it has enough outputs.

i want to stay away from the NX because i've heard hibernation complaints...but if those two work...which one has better sound quality and higher voltage output?

in terms of amps...i'm running a 4-channel alpine amp currently for my 4 speakers...and i'm not too sure about my amp or amps for my subs...but most likely 2 amps for my subs, or 1 amp with those outputs (i'm not as familiar with subs/amps as i am with speakers/amps) i hope that information helps...

I have the first one straight to my 4-ch amp for my speakers. I don't have subs, yet, but it works great with my four component speakers.....no hibernation issues either

are there any more outputs on the card to support subs?

yes.....the card has three "headphone" jack outputs on the back.... front speakers, rear speakers, and subwoofer
