[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8539630, member: 540940"] Jeff has a tendency to go overboard in his criticism of less than high quality gear. Your HU's not 10-12w. There are NUMEROUS HU's that will do 16-18w rms at 1% THD or less, yours is one of them. But the point stands that it's not much power for a quality pair of aftermarket speakers. Same thing with that Planet Audio amp. 20w is [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] . With the 30A fuse it's likely in the 250w rms range. That would break down to ~50x2 to your 4 ohm fronts and ~120 to a 4 ohm sub. That's probably not exact, but definitely in the ballpark. How about this? [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_112649_Precision-Power-ICE1000.4.html"]Precision Power ICE1000.4 1000W Max Bridgeable 4-channel Amplifier[/URL] Probably a little over-rated, but I bet it'll give you 60-70x2 and ~200x1.
