[QUOTE="2theMaxx21, post: 122615, member: 546337"] If your head unit has built in crossovers (high pass filters) then you will be able to turn the music up pretty loud without much distortion. I usually set my mids to 125Hz and up, then let your sub fill the missing bass. Pioneer and Alpine have some pretty high wattage head units. Alpine has some 60 watt (max) head units, which is probably around 25 watts RMS. As long as you have the bass filtered out, the power from a good headunit can give some pretty clean and loud music. Oh, and by the way, a 4 channel amp that is hooked to mids/highs doesn't really pull that much current. Not near as much as a sub amp. For example: you never see anybodies headlights dim except when the bass notes play. [/QUOTE]
