[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8190838, member: 628688"] You'd get better results with an active capable head unit than just relying on the crossovers of a P900.4. I would keep your speakers running passive until you get an active head unit. About bridging a 4-channel amp for components, take it slow and stick to a more reasonable amount of power. 300W+ per side is definitely possible to run safely, but there are dangers of running that much power. There's also the very important consideration of what music you listen to. I know the music I listen to most only has a crest factor of around 6-7 dB, so for that kind of music there's no real need to drastically exceed the thermal capacity of my speakers with amplifier headroom. Most of the excess power would go to waste. When I do listen to high crest factor music I think it sounds amazing, and right now I have 85W RMS per channel in the front. [/QUOTE]
