[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8374057, member: 540940"] That soundstream amp would power four 4 ohm speakers w/o a problem. Generally, for 4 speakers you'd be looking for a 4 channel amp, giving you the ability to fade front/rear, but if you're using a phone as the source you won't have separate f/r signal anyway so a 2 ch will work fine -- you'll just wire the speakers parallel. There are smaller amps, but if you go much smaller than that the amount of power is so low it would barely be capable of driving a pair of ~50w speakers. The two channel volume control appears to be a little more complex than I thought it would. One possible solution may be to use an amp with a remote volume (the PN2.350d has one) and find switched power wire somewhere to turn the amp on when the ignition is on. That would leave you the one knob and the on-off would be automatic. [/QUOTE]
