Is my amp sufficient for my speakers?

[ktennies]

Hello,

Pardon my ignorance; I'm a novice.

Amp = JBL GT5-A604

JBL GT5-A604 (GT5A604) 640W Max 4-Channel GT Car Amplifier

RMS Power @ 4 ohms 60 watts x 4 channels

RMS Power @ 2 ohms 80 watts x 4 channels

RMS Power @ 1 ohm Not Stable

Bridged RMS Power 160 watts x 2 channels

Components = DLS UP6i 2-Way 4 Ohm

DLS UP6i 2-Way 4 Ohm 6.5" 360W Component Speaker (pair) - Car Audio Products | dlsaudio.com

Power handling capacity: 150 W RMS

I bridged 4 channels to 2 channels to run the two components. So I have 160w RMS x2 at the amp going to 150w RMS speakers x2, correct? My amp is currently not working at all and I think it started because of a bad distribution block and/or wires (melting at the distribution block...yikes!) which I've since replaced, but I just want to make sure it doesn't have anything to do with my speaker/amp combo.

Thanks.

It's fine. No such thing as underpowering. If you want more output down the road and the install is already taken care of, add more power.
