I need some help to verify whether if I bought a right amp or my amp is underpower for my Alpine type R speakers.
I recently purchased 2 sets of Alpine Type-R SPR-17C 6.5 100watts speakers for my honda civic. I planned to run these speakers with my old school phoenix gold zx450 4.ch amp. From what I understanding my Phoenix Gold only put out 75 watts per channel so which I think it will be underpower for my speakers. Each of the speaker is 100watts, in this case I might need to buy a bigger amp I think. I'm new to audio, please give me some input I would really appreciate it. I don't even know if Phoenix Gold zx450 amp is a good amp or just another generic name amp, I have this amp since 2000 and it still running good.
thanks.
