Yes, probably an used one or depends. However, how many channel amp are you looking at? Mind telling us what kind of setup are you intended to have?

Mind telling us what kind of setup are you intended to have? i was thinking of adding an amp now....four channel to power front components and rear coaxial....since limited budget not sure whether to add a sub or not....but most probably i would add a a sub powered by a monoblock later on in the near future....Setup with emphasis on sound quality....

You need to first determine your budget, how much you're willing to spend for the whole system, not just the amp.
For economic system, usually can consider these options: A) Upgrade HU, change front speakers with front component set, add a subwoofer and a mono or 2 channel amp to drive the sub, or a powered sub (sub box with built-in power amp). B) Same like A) but using a 4 channel amp to drive the front speakers and sub. C) Same as A) but using 5 channel amp to drive all speakers & sub.

Actually it's better to focus your budget more on the front and the sub rather the front & rear coax. Rear coax is just for rear fill only so no need to invest much on it (if at all). Many purist even do away without rear speakers at all since they feel it actually distorts the sound quality and imaging/staging of the sound. I myself now would not even bother to change/upgrade the rear speakers, still just use the std ones, and I only drive the speakers directly from the HU and set the fader to about 75% to the front. Sub on the other hand will give so much impact to your overall sound & power, that is if you like songs that have bass especially from drums.

look, there are many threads available in this sub-forum, pinned ones and other people who started out (including mine) that already covered your answers and more. just look around, search function or even just use the pinned threads if you're lazy and you'll have your answers and this thread wouldn't be needed at all.
