I'm buying new speakers and my pioneer deh2200ub headunit can't power them.

Pioneer TS-A6964R A-Series 6"x9" 3-Way 400 Watts

Pioneer TS-A4674R A-Series 4"x6" 3-Way 200 Watts

50x4 is alil low you are gonna wanna have alil overhead plus u may upgrade in the future to different speakers.

is it bad if there's too much power

 

[oldschoolboomer 10+ year member]

50-75 watts could fry those 4x6's with ease if you weren't wise with xover and gains

 

[obivouslyasd 10+ year member]

50 rms right

50x4 if u never plan to upgrade. Amps have gains people u can have a 2krms@1ohm amp do only 100@1ohm use the gain and 50x4 is just a waste since power is cheap these days

I am willing to bet those 4x6's are 20-35wrms 50 rms is over head

edit: I also only run 35wrms each door and it will make your ears ring. I'm probably dropping down to 5wrms for my next amp

 

[obivouslyasd 10+ year member]

the 4x6 is 20 rms, and what is over head lol

the 9x6 is 40 rms
