    Need recommendation on system

    "Basically, you can have $1000's in equipment, but have a really ghetto/crappy install, and make everything sound horribly wrong " Well what things are there to be aware off when one installs a audio system into a car. Wiring appears to be straight forward, placement of speakers go into the...

    How much power for a given speaker?

    Well I was just saying this number as sample. U say "use the suggest rms that the company suggests for the speaker". My question is, how do I find out what the manufacturer does suggest for a given pair of speakers. You ask "is that 100 watts rms or 100 watts max?? - what is the difference ...

    How much power for a given speaker?

    I have been asking myself and "experts" in car audio stores this question for years with no logical answer returned to me. How much power do I need in a amplifier to drive a pair of speakers of X watts. If I have a speaker pair of 100 watt each speaker, how much power should the amplifier have...
