[QUOTE="youdoofus, post: 8666702, member: 664079"] one thing that many people miss when it comes to car audio is quality work when installing. Yes different drivers make a big difference, such as if you had a pair of silver flutes vs the PRV mids im running. The silver flutes on the same amp as the flutes will sound day and night different in a proper install setup, but theyll both sound like trash without care when putting them in. You SHOULD amplify every channel you possibly can as the deck power is pathetic and decks always exaggerate their actual power. a 55x4 deck will actually put out around 17 to 20 times 4. Is there a discernible difference between amps that put out the same RMS power? Well, thats subjective. I like A/B class amps for full range, but the class d amps put out serious power, and in the end, its really all about install, eq'ing and correct crossover points. If you want seriously good sound, youll go active for the front stage and even do speaker pods on the dash or good kick panels. Short story is that there are a ton of amps out there that will pretty much sound the same at very low prices. Even the pioneer amps are very recommended such as the gm-d8604 for $160 is a great option for 99% of folks [/QUOTE]
