[QUOTE="Firewalker, post: 8843143, member: 676743"] RMS is probably closer to 15-22 watts per channel. What amp you buy for the aftermarket speakers is dependent on which speakers you buy. Each brand/model has different rms ratings. Find a component 6.5" set for the front and get a 4 channel to run those and run the rears off the head unit. That is what most of us do. Check sonicelectronix and crutchfield to see what 6.5" components will work. Both will send you speaker wire adapters as well. Then instead of running new wires to the front component set you run use 9 wire to wire into the aftermarket harness on the car side, NOT the new radio and it has remote wire as well built in. Then you need a 4 gauge ofc kit or 8 gauge ofc 4 channel kit. Some 4 channel amplifiers require 4 gauge so hence that suggestion. [/QUOTE]
