[QUOTE="pavinjoseph, post: 8293123, member: 662240"] This is my first car audio installation. [B]I have to run a pair of Polk coaxials and Focal components.[/B] I could not afford many of the pricier amps out there. I was looking for a budget 4 channel amp with at least 60 W RMS and of course good quality for the price. After quite a search, I bought a [B][COLOR=#2e8b57]Sony XM-N1004 Stereo Power Amplifier[/COLOR][/B] with the following specs: [I][B]Channel Configuration 4ch/3ch/2ch[/B][/I] [I][B]Power Supply MOSFET Power Supply[/B][/I] [I][B]Maximum Output Power 170Wx4 (4ohm), 500Wx2 (4ohm-BTL), 250Wx4 (2ohm)[/B][/I] [I][B]Rated Output Power 70Wx4 (4ohm), 175Wx2 (4ohm-BTL), 85Wx4 (2ohm)[/B][/I] [I][B]High Pass Filter / Slope 80Hz / 12dB/oct[/B][/I] [I][B]Low Pass Filter / Slope 80Hz / 18dB/oct[/B][/I] [I][B]Frequency Response 5-50kHz[/B][/I] [I][B]Signal-to-Noise Ratio 100dB[/B][/I] [I][B]Total Harmonic Distortion (1kHz) 0.05%[/B][/I] [I][B]Line In: Input Sensitivity (V) 0.3-6[/B][/I] [I][B]Gold Plated Connectors Yes[/B][/I] [I][B]Current Drain 36A[/B][/I] [I][B]Load Capability Yes (2ohm)[/B][/I] [I][B]Tolerance +0/-3dB[/B][/I] [I][B]Weight (kg) Approx. 2.7kg[/B][/I] [IMG]http://sp.sony-europe.com/da/3504/2c4e2e78169b2c0e03b5b60719bd4ba4.jpeg[/IMG] [COLOR=#00bfff][SIZE=14px][B]I was hoping to get some ideas on:[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=14px][/SIZE] [I][B]1.
