Hi everybody, I'm new here, I've done some searches and have been having some troubles.
Anyhow, I'm in the process of a complete stereo replacement in my focus mk3, and I'm stuck on what amplifier would be good. Currently I have a cheap power acoustik rz1-1500d. I bought this amp because last time I messed around with car stereos, power acoustik was a good/decent brand. Anyhow, this amp allegedly puts out 600w rms at 4 ohm. The infinity is rated at 500w @ 4ohm, my question is, should I look for something right at 500w, or get something a little higher so the amp has some headroom? If my line of thinking is off please let me know. I was looking at a few amps.
Infinity kappa k1000 - 700w at 4ohm
Soundstream t1-4000dl - 700w at 4ohm
I found a factory refurbished kicker cx1200.1 which is 600w at 4ohm.
Any other recommendations or criticism is welcome. Thanks!
