[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8270310, member: 655960"] You won't get 50 watts per channel from any head unit, because it's not possible. The reason manufacturers put those claims up is because the output ICs they use are capable of it but the power supplies in the HU are not able to supply the ICs with enough voltage to actually produce the power. In the end, you'll get 16-18 watts per channel from the head unit and that's not going to be enough to move even a cheap sub. As for the Sinuslive, they aren't subs, they're tactile transducers and in order to get any appreciable effects from them they need to see some real power. They're also pretty sensitive to the mounting location and if you don't get them in the right place, your results will be even worse. They're designed to be mounted to a home theater chair and in a car there isn't really a good location for them. Component sets are almost always sold with crossovers but I can't say ALL are, because there may be one instance where they're not and that would make such a claim false. Lastly, more isn't always better. Proper placement of speakers and proper treatment of the area they're mounted will get you much better results than just stuffing as many speakers in the vehicle as possible. [/QUOTE]
