I'm aware of the "Correct" way.. But the question was is it possible to just use the 12v power wire already present.

I bought this small amp (Kenwood KAC-M3004) to go in the front of the vehicle. Wondering if I have to run a separate power wire from the battery, or If I can just splice the 18-20 gauge wire that running to the headunit or just use 12v power wire that runs to the "cigarette outlet" that I never...

I looked at that on sonic electronix site; the dyno test video shows 90-100W x 4 @ 4ohm So what is that in RMS? or does RMS not matter for that?

Honestly I don't know what you mean when you say "Rated" or "RMS" The crap description on Amazon pretty much only says "4 ohms 45W x 4" or "4 ohms 50W x 4 RMS" or something like that. It doesn't say if that's RMS or whatever. And frankly looking at "50W x 4 RMS" looks like 50 x 4 = 200, which...

Planet Audio was just one that popped up when searching Amazon. Don't know if any of the search results are good bad. And I wasn't really looking at names, just $ per watt. Would like to keep it around $100, doesn't mean wouldn't go a little higher if needed. Also size is a factor. There is a...

$200(ish) for that amp seems a little over priced. Was hoping to keep it as close to $100 (-/+) as we could. The headunit is Pioneer AVH-X5800BHS What are your thoughts on Desert Eagle DE-S900.4 ? Or the Pioneer GM-D1004 400W ? or the Kenwood KAC-M1804 Compact ?

not really a prerogative, just trying to find the easiest option. And trying understand how the connections work. Some say "x 1 RMS", others say "x 4 RMS"

Oh okay. Curious question: Is it possible to use 2 x 2-Channel Amp, mount one in the front, and one in the rear?

What about the Planet Audio BB1200.4 Big Bang 3 1200-Watt ?? It says 113 W X 4 RMS @ 4 ohm

So the 1200W one that says "113 W X 4 RMS @ 4 ohm" is what I need then? I'm not understanding what the "113 W X 4 RMS" means though. the RMS of the speaker is "60." I just don't want to get the wrong one and blow something up, as the speakers look almost brand new, I'd hate to have to replace...

I'm trying to add a little extra power to my front and rear speakers. On the front I have a Kicker Components, which are 4Ω 120/60 (peak/RMS) In the rear Kicker 6x9 3-way 4Ω 140/70 (peak/RMS) I would like to get a small 4 channel amp to push some extra power to the speakers I already have...
