[QUOTE="bryanmartin, post: 8572167, member: 672214"] Hi. Super dumb new-guy question here. I'm wondering how amps are sized. I know they have to match the speakers, but how is the measurement taken? Say I have two 100watt speakers, and two 150watt speakers: [LIST] [*]Do I choose an amp to cover the highest possible wattage speaker, in this case a 150watt amp? [*]Or, do I add all the speakers together (150+150+100+100), and buy a 500watt amp? [/LIST] I'm learning as I go. Thanks, Bryan [/QUOTE]
