[QUOTE="truckramrod, post: 7004751, member: 570869"] Speakers power by a head unit can sound ok, but I would think this guy wants a little better than OK. A typical head unit is rated at 20 watts rms per channel at anywhere from 2-10 % T.H.D. whereas a decent quality amp may be capable of 50 watts rms per channel at 0.05-0.1% distortion. A $100-150 4 channel amp is capable of 2.5 times the rms power while having 40-200 times less T.H.D. Amped vs. nonamped setups may sound very similiar at low volumes, but at high volumes they can sound very different, you can say what you want but most people will disagree. You keep talking about peak and max ratings which mean nothing. No ones in attack mode, this guy is asking for advice and we think you aren't giving great advice. All Im saying is that in my opinion a $100 deck and a $100 amp will make speakers sound better than a $300-400 deck running the speakers on internal power. We are not telling him to get 2000 watts, have a 130+ db system or spend tons of money. example of a budget amplifier: [URL="http://www.sonicelectronix.com/viewitem_b.php?id=25398"]Bazooka BA460 4-Channel Car Amplifier[/URL] [/QUOTE]
