Someone was selling a Xenon 200.2 a few days ago for $115.

I'm getting those same exact comps within the next month or so after reading so many good reviews on them and will be getting this PG amp to power them. Haven't read anything bad about this amp yet. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14133

Anything around 100-180w will do great for the comps. I've also had them on ~75w, and they sound good, just dont hit with the same real athority (esp. is these are your only speakers) unless you give around 150+.

so... 150w+ total? or 150w+ to each side... sorry, im a n00b when it comes to comps...

i might get a set of these after hearing how people talk so highly of them for the price. i don't hear people say what kinda power they can handle or how much they really need.

so if i put 150 watts rms to each side daily they will survive it?

The rsds dont need a lot of power. 75-100 is more than sufficient, but they can handle 150+ just fine.

i listen to a lot of rock/metal and i like it loud. i plan on running a powerful front stage and just running the stock pioneer rears off the deck so only 20 or so watts rms to the rears.

i want the pg rsds cause everybody says they have awesome mid bass and some are saying they can play really low as well. i'm hoping i can cross them at 63 at a 12db slope since my sub doesn't like the upper bass region very much.

i would like to get an amp that does 150x2 and just set the gains for 100-125 so i have some headroom to be safe.
