[QUOTE="jkess27, post: 3031538, member: 577192"] I upgraded the 4 factory speakers in my 2007 civic lx sedan to the Polk audio db650. I noticed that the sound is clearer now but there is not the biggest difference. I am probably getting no where the full potential performance since i'm not using an amp and using the factory 160 watt peak system (80 rms?). What do you recommend for an amplifier in the 100 dollar price range that will fit these stats of the polk db650 RMS power handling (watts) ?60 Frequency response (kHz) ?40Hz - 22kHz Peak power handling (watts) ?180 Recommended amp wattage range0 - 199 Peak power range (watts) 150-249 What do you think of this amp for the speakers [URL="http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Jensen-4-Channel-Amplifier-JPA460/sem/rpsm/oid/119446/catOid/-13095/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do"]http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Jensen-4-Channel-Amplifier-JPA460/sem/rpsm/oid/119446/catOid/-13095/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do[/URL] Will I notice a huge difference in sound quality once installing the appropriate amp. I am new to this but am I mistaken by saying that I am under performing the speakers by 3-4 times their potential.
