[QUOTE="FML, post: 8373700, member: 630747"] Ok. So like i had said, your Alpine 4 channel has an even output of 50 watts into each channel. Therefore you don't need to worry about wiring your speakers into specific channels. Its all the same. Alpine makes good units and that will do just fine for you. Have you opened up your doors to see what speakers you're running? If they are just low to mid end speakers, chances are good 50 watts RMS won't hurt them. Its also not a huge amount either. If you think about it, most HU will do around 30 watts, so its just a tad bit better. I personally like having a strong front end (my sub stage is massive and i highly dislike overpowering bass if i can't hear any lyrics or the music) . That being said, i buy drivers that take upwards of 300 watts to each 6.5, and anywhere from 100 to 150 to each tweeter. Provides a louder and much more clear front stage that blends much better with the woofers. Which brings us to the sub and sub amp. What woofer? If you aren't gonna go crazy and run multiple thousands of watts to it, your front stage can be sufficient with what you have. Also that amp is a lower end one, but like i said, you want to match the speakers to the amp. If your sub is only 300 RMS and thats what your amp does, and you are happy with it, then you're set. Its all about what you want. If your speakers sound weak, look into a higher quality set and then the amp to match them, same with the sub. [/QUOTE]
