Featured Choosing a good amp!

Spokey is totally right though. Peak power is something most of us ignore.
We all go by RMS. That's a more legit number that the amplifier (supposedly) can produce.

Spokey is not totally right, though. And who is "We all? Who nominated you to be the spokesman for all the members in this site? Those numbers are industry accepted standards, and reputable stereo sales companies use those numbers in their sales listings. If you and the dummy want to ignore them, be my guest. However, don't self-appoint yourself to be a spokesperson for others. Your logic is flawed, as the manufacturers use "RMS" in their peak power numbers. Congratulation, I just nominated you to join Spokey on the "ignore" feature. I will ignore you when the site tells me that you are typing a reply. Based on you initial comment, I don't need to hear more of your misinformed logic. Bye

Those speakers have and RMS wattage rating of 50w(6.5") and 70w(6x9"). IGNORE peak power ratings as they are there to "WOW" you. 50w and 70w is very respectable and will get loud. If you want to "match" the amplifier power to those speakers specifically then find a 4 channel amplifier rated at 50w-75w per channel rms. Walmart sells a JVC amp at 60w x 4rms that would do great on those speakers. JVC/Kenwood make great head units as well.

RMS power can be run all day long without hurting those speakers. An amp with RMS power per channel matching your speakers could also run those speakers all day without hurting them.

This may help better understand real world ratings.

"RMS (Root Mean Square)-The truest figure available for comparing speakers and amplifiers electrical capabilities.
Music Power -x2 the RMS
Peak Power -x4 the RMS
Dynamic Power -x2 the RMS
Program Power (PGM) -x2 the RMS
PMPO (Peak Music Power Output) -x4 the RMS
Max Power -x2 the RMS" - Electromarket.co.uk

160 amps worth of fuses...it'll do about 1000-1200w and for $300 you can do better power wise and quality

The fuse ratings never match up to the "WOW" numbers either

Max = Peak and peak is what flea market salesmen swear by.

Someone ignored me that fully believes that rating

Even disregarding Peak, Max, Unicorn ratings...there's a lot of brands out there inflate their rms ratings

It looks like a solid unit with a 6-year factory warranty. The only way to tell the actual output is to do a bench test. I would look for articles on that. They claim 5,000 @ 1 ohm, 2,500@ 2ohm, and 1,250 at 4ohm. The Google search says "The BOSS Audio Systems PD5000 Phantom is rated for 5000 watts max power at 1 ohm, but in practical use, it delivers around 3750 watts RMS at 1 ohm. The actual power output can vary depending on the specific conditions and the quality of the installation.
Look for reviews on any equipment that you plan to buy and go from there. Don't listen to the negative bums on this site who profess to be experts. They are far from it. They sit barefoot on their couch every day, drink beer and claim what they say is gospel. BEWARE
