[QUOTE="mrnbooc, post: 4399259, member: 589719"] Hi All, I am not new to car stereos but I am new to doing it myself. In the past I would just hand the money o the technician and tell him what I wanted. But now in the DIY age I am tempted to try to design, setup and install a system myself. I am starting to understand the basics of the stereo systems but there is one thing that is still confusing me. When selecting speakers and amps what numbers are more important RMS or the max the speaker can handle? Do I buy an amp based on the RMS or max wattage the speaker can handle? Why do speakers that have 80watt RMS,120watt max sell for the same price as a speaker with 150watt RMS,300watt max? Am I missing something? Thanks [/QUOTE]
