[QUOTE="emilimo701, post: 6913616, member: 622834"] About a year ago I got an Infinity 475a amplifier. It puts out 75w at 4Ω, and 90w at 2Ω. I found that i desire even more power (or efficiency). So I bridged it to power my front stage, while adding my busted 4channel (only 2 channels work) to take care of the rear speakers. A cheap and easy solution. But while I did notice a difference of a few notches on the volume dial of my HU, I feel like it still isn't enough. My front speakers are type-R's, rear type-S's. I'm hesitant to blame it on the lower efficiency of the type Rs, but i have an extra pair of type-S's i can put in to test/compare. But assuming speaker efficiency isn't the problem, it looks like i'm in the market for some new equipment. But there are a couple of limitations: there aren't that many four channel amps that put out more than 125 watts per channel. And even if there were, there aren't that many component sets that can handle more than 125 watts of continuous power. I realize there are more variables to the equation... but what should be the first thing(s) i consider in this quest for MOR DEBEEZ? p.s. -- is this the main reason why people put two (or more) sets of components in each door/panel?
