[QUOTE="ZeroDfx, post: 5215399, member: 601597"] Can someone please clarify for me the advantage of having ones speakers driven by a higher power amplifier? I changed the OEM speakers in my BMW and have noticed a significant improvement in SQ just from that upgrade. The OEM DSP stock amp probably is 4watts per channel RMS @ 4 ohms, but seems to provide enough power to allow me to play it at high volumes if I care to. Is there any advantage to increasing the amp power to 35 watts per channel RMS @ 4 ohm in terms of SQ? The new component speakers are rated at 120 watts. Will I hear any additional differences with the extra power and the crossovers that came with the speakers? Thanks much, Nick [/QUOTE]
