[QUOTE="ejb222, post: 8538965, member: 671849"] So this is my first post...please go easy on me. Just installed a Kenwood KDC x998 in my 2001 GMC Sierra. Got it for Christmas with a 10" sub box and a JL 10w0 4ohm. So after some research I'd like to purchase a 5 channel amp to run the sub and a future set of Hertz hsk 165 for the front. Someone suggested to me the JL xd700/5, but isn't it a bit under powered? The speakers are 100w rms and the amp is rated at 75w/channel. The sub is 75-300w arms rated but the amp is 180w @ 4ohm. Isn't it better to not under power the components, as the amp is more likely to clip the closer you approach its max capabilities? I listen to everything from Radiohead to Mozart to Kenny Burrell to Pantera ? hopefully y'all can steer me in the right direction. Any amps I should stay away from? [/QUOTE]
