[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8856233, member: 674149"] If I was set on using what you have: I would get a head unit that will play 40-50w RMS x 4. Use that for your 3.5s and 4 x 10s, or get a small 4ch amp. If you have nicer head unit with nav, or a newer head unit then just get a cheap amp. If you were questioning your head unit, or it's old and missing some features, then upgrade that, and solve this. Those 6x9s you want to add, are 65w RMS and 440W Max. There's a lot of room in there to add more to those 6x9s then what you have. You can dial down an amp, but I would bridge your amp to 160w x 2, and play it up to that or dial it down a little if you don't feel comfortable and use that for those two. You can go over the 65w, it's just diminishing return. You can put that 160w or even more into em, it's just after 65w, you are putting more and more power into em, and getting less more out of em. You have the room, there's no reason to be worried. You need to learn about amp draw and that's really the only downside of running em higher. After that, you get subs and an amp combo if thats what you want. [/QUOTE]
