[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 367914, member: 550915"] I hate to muddy the waters when it seems you have about made up you mind on most everything, but it is not a waste to run less than RMS (even if it is much less) to a set of speakers. Just because they can take the extra power doesn't mean they need it to sound good. Also you don't need nearly the same amount of power to run your rear speakers as you do the front. You don't want the same volume from the rear as the front, so you can go with less power. If I were in your shoes, I would get the us Acoustics 2100 for the front stage use the money saved over the 4085 to get a better set of components for the front and run the rear speakers, if you must have them, off the head unit. I saw later in the thread where I think you misread what another poster had said. If you want SQ a sealed box is the way to go. If you are more interested in volume, ported is the way to go.
