Difference between 60 rms and 110 rms

[heyhi1 10+ year member]

What would be the diffrence between 60 and 110 rms on a active set up? My speakers are rated 110 and I have them at 60. Will higher rms give me more volume?

Do 150 per or it's not going to be worth it

They are rated at 110, will they handle more? I don't wanna blow these things

What's a good budget amp that will push 150 . Around 200 bucks, somehow I've got into a bad habit of buying for this car and it's been going on since feb

They are a step up from mine and I have 160 in each speaker. Mids and tweeters.

Not really a budget 150x 4 out there.

the ppi 900.4 is the best youll get for the money at that amount of power

youll be happy with it, @LosIsATool forgets what its like to not spend loads of money on amps

What are your cross over points? I've read these tweeters take 60 rms. I'm crossed over 3-20k and 80-3k at 24 db and I had someone tune it for me.

If it's that one I'd do the NVX version.

My tweeters are at 1800 -24. Mids start at 70

I've heard good things about that amp. Someone offered the Phantom for 100

What is the true rms on that amp? I don't think my car pushed 14 v it's a 03 g35 with stock charging system

same as the ppi... they do about 20% more than rated at 14.4 it seems so expect whatever the rated rms is on 13.5v

basically dont worry about it lol
