[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 2197808, member: 555320"] You [B]don't [/B]want to hear the rear speakers from the front seats. The MOST they should be doing is filling in some for the rear seat passengers. (hence the term "rear fill") Not at all. Not at all what that specification means. "RMS power handling" is typically a long term, continuous specification. Music is neither long term nor continuous. It is periodic, transient and dynamic. 1) Because you don't want the rears to be of the same amplitude as the fronts. And wasting amplifier channels on speakers that should be barely audible to even the rear seat passengers is not cost effective when the headunit's internal amplifier (with the fader faded towards the front) can do the job just fine. 2) More power = more better [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] The limiting factor to the maximum output of your system won't be power, and using larger than necessary amplifier allows for higher average power output without nearing the limitations of the amplifier.
