[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8658939, member: 576029"] It's not that you'll get better volume from one speaker per channel, it's that it will be safer in the long run. You will be louder with an external amp over just a head unit. And it will sound better at higher volumes. Without an enclosure, the lower frequencies cancel. you can hear this by listening to a speaker out of an enclosure vs. in and enclosure (before you screw it into the box, power it up, play music with some bass, and listen with it out of the enclosure vs. in. Speakers with ports behave as if they are enclosed except the have a port that resonates and affects the air-spring compliance of the enclosure at some frequencies. An equalizer adjusts frequency bands. A mixer combines multiple music sources. The preset settings for Rock is typically enjoyable. You can get an amp that can provide 300W per channel but set gains and volume level so only 1W is actually provided. Typically, you want more power available than you need since max power output includes max distortion. [/QUOTE]
