I use the SB External-24bit, blows onboard away. If you use external though, dont plug the soundcard into a usb hub, rather plug it right into the mobo.
I have 2 amps, one for the 2 12" dual core subs, and the other for all the other interior audio. I control the power on of both amps using the M2-ATX power remote. The amps are then connected via regular red/white RCA cables to the external soundcard (i use a couple spliters) , i can take a closer pick for you.
I ran all the proper gauge wire based on the amps/power requirements for each device. I use a power distribution block (which you can see in the picture moutned to the side of the sub box). The dist block goes all the way to battery (Optima).
I have zero static, alternator sound. I run all my devices off the USB hubs, buried under the sub box....all my wires are buried under it (GPS, Sirius, bluetooth, cameras...etc)
The SB External-24 bit has some killer configuration options in its software that allow fine tuning of the audio (like bass booster and such). I totally recommend it.
The way I have the PC and one of the amps mounted I can fold my seats up perfectly.
