[QUOTE="TheUnderFighter, post: 7681151, member: 631325"] As for the CDT's handling 150w, I'm pretty sure it's their RMS rating, cus that's what I've given mine. But, it's 150w @ 120hz, and most people need their components playing a lot lower than that, like down to 80hz. So mine were bottoming out constantly. I've turned them down to about 100w now. I think you'd be better off buying separate amps. the 5 or 6 channel amps are good for a clean install, and people that are ok with lower/mid powered sub set-ups, and know they won't be upgrading/changing their amps or subs. Again, having 2 separate amps provides versatility, and allows you to determine how much power you want on your substage, and if you want to upgrade it, it's easy. And as you saw, most of them are pretty expensive. It's hard to find any on a budget really, since usually only quality companies make them. [/QUOTE]
