[QUOTE="knukonceptz, post: 1730550, member: 548221"] Gain has nothing to do with power output if you have a high volt out HU. Gain is merely input sensitivity. So at Min gain with a 4V HU you will get the same power as a 200mA radio with gain at max. Most radios are now atleast 2V so that point of gain is moot. Sure you can turn it higher, but you lose signal to noise ratio and just get distortion sooner. Back to your question, stick with the 120A, upgrade if it blows. Purchase a 140 or 150A and keep as a reserve. The chance both amps pulling max power is slim esp if the 200w is running stereo @ 4 ohm [/QUOTE]
