If my sub is pushing 600W rms...

how much should my components be pushing to complement it?

600W? That can be misleading, I would put at least 100W on my componets, but it really depends on those "600W"

I had a RF 600W amp, and upgraded to a Diamond 600W, HUGH difference.

What kind of amp is it?

if you have your front stage imaged properly 50-75 watts rms x2 should be enough.

that would depend on the output that 600rms is giving the sub....is the sub sealed or ported?

no 1 can decide this ... every 1 got his own taste...........

you decide alone..... might just like them without an amp...

imo you don't need a lot of power for a front stage. on my pg Ti500.4 i have the gains all the way down. for subs i'm running nearly 1500 watts rms and it is plenty loud for me.

anywhere in the 75rms-150rms should suffice....theres no real science to it- heck I got a 2-1 ratio in my set up- but it depends on the speakers you chose obviously, and install. Extra power= dynamic headroom and better midbass performance in my experience

What kind of comps where you looking at ?

Well I think I need a bit more to my comps since they are getting like 75rms each and my sub is getting 420rms and its a CVR 12 in a decent size ported enclosure. I'm planning on pushing 100rms to them and 80-90 to the rear fill, especially since I'm going up to an L7 and giving it close to 700rms.

But like everyone says, its really up to you. With an eD in a sealed enclosure I take it you're looking for better all-around sounding music so you might want to put around 100rms up front but it depends what all your running.
